The final result of preparing a carrot and onion fry largely depends on the correct choice of the order in which these ingredients are fried.

Today you will finally learn the correct answer to the question of which vegetable should be put in the frying pan first.

According to some cooks, the carrots should be fried first.

This point of view is based on the fact that the orange root vegetable has a harder texture, which means that it requires a longer heat treatment.

This is the main mistake that cooks make, because in this case it is simply impossible to achieve a golden crust on the onion.

Remember: if you add the onion to the pan after the carrots, it will end up dull and, therefore, less appetizing.

This happens because juicy carrots release a large amount of liquid during frying, and the onion, instead of frying, is stewed.

We conclude: the best solution is to start preparing the frying by frying the onion, and only after it reaches a caramel color, you can add the carrots.
