The latest TikTok food trend is an obsession with…onions?

You’re never sure what food TikTok will eat next. One month it’s cottage cheese on everything, the next it’s bean salad.

Right now TikTok is really into – of all things – the onion. Most notably, many people cook a dish called “onion stew,” which is all the things you would see in a seafood stew – lots of butter and seasoning – stuffed inside an onion.

Videos of people making onion soups have garnered millions of views. And it’s really simple as I’ve written before: You grate the onion, coat it with butter, and dry it all over hell. Then it is baked in foil a little and used. This TikTok from @stephpappas, for example, has garnered nearly 10 million views.

Or here’s another from @thishealthytable with almost 3 million views.

To be honest – and this is my opinion – they look like soggy gut bombs. But I think it’s the onions and the butter and the spices that are served over starch – let’s say rice – can be delicious.

Many people in viral TikTok comments pointed out that the onion boils look exactly like a dish called dolma, which is a stuffed onion. But onion boils indeed made simple, relying only on butter and seasoning. But, because onions in the middle by using the boil recipe, you can see people basically making the true dolma recipe and getting infected.

So it’s not just one onion recipe goes viral — you could say this trend has … “layers.”
