Made as written for the Quest 2014, I foresee this tasty little recipe having several creative uses. We're in avocado heaven here right now & they were a fine add to avocado chunks for a simple, but tasty side-salad w/complimentary flavors. I think they would do equally well adding flavor to pasta & other salads to give them a MOJO ingredient, so to speak. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us Agent Ev. -
this was good but next time I will use less lime juice, that amount was slightly overpowering, thanks for sharing Ev!...Kitten -
Wonderful flavor! The lime adds so much in creating this flavor! I am serving this with pork tenderloin. Thank you, Evelyn! -
This stuff is awesome! I cooked the onions for about 15 minutes, but was still careful to not brown them. I served them once with pan seared beef and one day with fish tacos. Yum.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
