This recipe was personally prepared by Maria Attanasio for the October 2015 meeting with the Curious Cuisiners. Note: "I made this for my picky husband (who literally gags at the smell and taste of broccoli) and he loved it. His exact word: 'INCREDIBLE'. Every time I make this for company, my friends ask for the recipe. They cannot believe how kids gobble up the broccoli and onions." Recipe provided by All Recipes
