Instead of red onion, I added white onion, scalding it slightly, and it turned out great too! 👍

Instead of red onion, I added...

I don't think white onions can deliver that alluring aroma that every housewife loves. Red onions add just the right amount of zest. Plus, I prefer to finely chop them first and then press them firmly to create a firm layer.
