This recipe is wonderful!!! I used the onions IN & ON the Lentil Bulgar Pilaf I made for a coworker's birthday! I will never stand and stir onions again! The hint about freezing portions in a muffin tin and then placing in a freezer bag was also an excellent idea! Thanx for sharing!!! -
These are fabulous! The onions come out this beautiful color of glazed brown. The flavor is deep and rich. I loved the method of cooking because I can make a double batch and freeze one. This is great with any type of barbequed meat too, especially Romaldo's Carnitas. I love this recipe, and want to thank you for sharing it. It's definately a keeper!
