  1. Wow!! So yummy! I used regular balsamic, and regular curry powder. These are wonderful! I'll be making this again for sure!! :D Thanks!! :D
     
  2. Fantastic! We all loved this and could not quite raving. I used the suggested red curry paste and included the optional parsley and red pepper flake garnishes. As mentioned, this is very versatile - we enjoyed them plain, as a topping for chicken brats, and over potatoes, and look forward to using them in more ways. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Seriously YUMMY onions and, as Baby Kato promised, an eminently versatile dish. We've enjoyed these in sandwiches and blended into creamy mashed potatoes. So much tastier - and considerably less expensive - than the commercially available gourmet onions I've bought from time to time. My only modifications - to suit our taste preferences - were to omit the curry powder and to add some cinnamon. Loved the inclusion of the paprika and the cinnamon - an addition inspired by the Zaar Kitchen Dictionary - blended beautifully with the other ingredients. Thanks for sharing this great recipe which I'll certainly be making again!
     
  4. Yummy way to make onions. We had them as a side. These would be lovely in sandwichs or tossed into a potato or pasta salad. Made for the Cooking Photo Event May Shoot Now Talk Later
     
  5. These were spicy, and great on sandwiches with goat cheese. The other application I could see them working well with is on burgers. We were out of white balsamic, so I used regular, and skipped the sugar (personal preference).
