Thanks to my friend Brett for the inspiration on dyeing cloth with onion skins! You can follow her on Instagram @genupcycle.

TO MAKE FRIGGIONE:
-thinly slice 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) of white or yellow onions
-toss onions in a large bowl with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar
-let sit for 4 hours, stirring occasionally
-put onions in a pot on the stove over low heat and cook for 2 hours
-add 200 grams (3/4 cup) canned tomatoes, and stir
-cook for another 30 minutes

TO DYE CLOTH USING ONION SKINS:
-rinse onion skins
-fill a pot of water ¾ full
-put over heat and once it’s warm but before it simmers, add the onion skins. -leave the onion skins here for 1.5 hours, with the heat on low...it shouldn’t be boiling, but you should be able to see some steam coming off it.
-soak the fabric you want to dye in water for 1-2 hours.
-strain the onion skins -- I’m not too detailed about this, you can use a cheesecloth if you are.
-ring your soaking fabric and add it to the onion skin water, stir in until fully immersed.
-let soak over a low heat for 2 hours.
-turn off the heat and let sit overnight.
-the next day remove it from the pot and squeeze the excess liquid from it, and hang to dry. Voilà!
