Onions add flavor and kick to this recipe. Did you know that eating onions might possibly play a role in your weight loss efforts? Onions contain an antioxidant known as quercetin, which may help you lose weight by increasing your body’s energy expenditure and calorie burning. However, a lot more research is needed to determine whether the results are conclusive. No matter what, onions do add excellent flavor to recipes without adding extra calories.
