Entertainer Danny Kaye has a cooked onion dish, more method than recipe, by which he rids the onion of sulphur compounds. First, he cuts onions into julienne strips, then puts them into a big heavy pan over the slowest possible fire without anything else in the pan, including fat. He cooks them for 40 minutes, stirring often.
The result is a mess of onions, said to be deliciously, extraordinarily sweet, with all the volatile oils so excised that the natural onion sugars (the average onion contains 12 percent sugar and at least 50 sulphur compounds) are prominent. [sic]
