These onions are great. I used fresh herbs and chicken stock, also used sultanas. Next time I make it, I'll quadruple the recipe so there's some leftovers! -
Wonderful recipe! I used large onions cut into quarters, so it wasn't the elegant dish that the recipe suggests... but it tasted superb! Definitely one to repeat. -
Sounds delicious, is delicious, but quite large recipie for me. Very simple, and that is how I like it. I'm a kid, and I can do it!

I am an Australian living in Switzerland.
My husband currently has a work contract here. I am studying aromatherapy online and I also love cooking and my husband loves eating so it's a good combination.
This site is fantastic, I honestly cook something different everynight thanks to this site. My husband says thanks too.
