Why do we cook onions first?

Asked by nebule (16452points) January 10th, 2009

Generally when i’m cooking things like, spaghetti bolognaise, chilli con carne, stirfrys, stews etc… i’ve always been taught to fry off onions first? Why? why not chuck everything in together? or at least all the vegetables first?
