Spanish term

desflemar

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary
Es una receta
Cortar la cebolla en brunoise y desflemar.

Según entiendo, desflemar es la técnica que consiste en quitarle el sabor fuerte a un alimento. Pero no puedo encontrar su equivalente en inglés.

¡Gracias por la ayuda!

mellow out/tame/treat/take out the bite

There is not a specific term, all those above are used.
However, the most common method is to soak them or rinse them in cold water, so that is another option, i.e. cut onions and rinse/soak them.

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Yes, I think the English version has to be adapted. Maybe "soak in cold water for 30 minutes to mellow their flavour". Would rinsing be enough?

As I said, there is not an exact equivalent to ¨desflemar¨, so the En version will have to be adapted, like ¨rinse in cold water¨or ¨treat them to tame the taste/ remove the harsh bite¨ etc.
neutral liz askew : i.e. neutralize (by soaking)?

Not a direct equivalent I believe. Thanks for you time!
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Sorry, but I don't believe most of these are reliable references. You say marinate, but then apparently disagree with yourself. It's definitely not "dephlegmate".

Sweating onions is done to accomplish for several purposes. Sweating gently cooks the onion to soften its texture, increase its sweetness and to reduce the sulfur content, which gives it a milder taste. Sweating onions for dishes, such as risottos, rice pilafs and braised meats is where the flavor begins. The sweat onions give a natural sweetness to dishes. See the instructions below for sweating
