 Ingredients List

  • 2 lb Spanish onions, sliced
  • 2/3 c Olive oil
  • 1/4 ts Powdered saffron
  • 1 ts Ginger
  • 1 ts Black peppercorns, crushed

crossways in the bottom of a tagine or casserole. This protects the onions
from scorching. Arrange onions in overlapping layers & pour over marinade.

30 to 40 minutes & then uncover & brown under a broiler just before
serving. The onions should be lsightly caramelized & very tender.
