This is simply outstanding! I can't believe it only had one review. Maybe people are put off by the idea of the Red Onion Chutney. This is absolutely heavenly!

Oh, this was heavenly. Had to use a white onion, but still! Couldn't stop w/10 spears -- I think I ate 30 - and that's only because I didn't have any more! I used Gorgonzola instead (Blue is too salty for me) and boy did it hit the spot. Maybe I'll make it again tonight! Thanks.
