    Wow, this is excellent; my DH and I really enjoyed the flavors. Great mix of spices. I did add 1 1/2 cups of frozen peas at the end for a bit of color. For two of us I halved the recipe and still had leftovers. I have a niece who is a strict Vegan and this will be perfect for her. It took about 45 minutes for the onions to caramelize, but well worth the time. Next time i make this I will halve the onion rounds, so they are easier to eat. Thank you bluesagegirl.
