gary’s onions with date, rosemary and pecans
I adore caramelized onions. This recipe is in that spirit, but not cooked as long. The addition of dates, rosemary and pecans make for a very beautiful savory dish. I created the recipe to top Green Bean Casserole. These, are however, very versatile and can be used for many purposes. You can top a burger, top all kinds of casseroles, bake on Brie, use as a topper for Brushetta,......and so on. Use your imagination for all the uses. These onions will keep a few days in the fridge. If you love onions, these are sure to please.
