The onions I have been getting in the market have been very bitter. I've tried lengthening the cooking time to try and let them caramlize a little, but sometimes even that doesn't help. Anyone have any advice on how to buy good onions or know what makes them bitter?
 
In all my years of buying onions, I honestly can't say I've ever bought any that have been "bitter".

What type have you been buying & what do they look like quality-wise?
 
Hi Leni. Welcome to DC.

Curious - what are you frying the onions in - i.e. oil, etc? Just a guess, but wonder if perhaps, the oil is old or rancid.
