  1. I made this for a work holiday party last winter and then for my family's Christmas dinner (as an appetizer). Both times this was the first thing gone off the table. It's wonderful and even people who don't like onions can't resist the sweetness of this dish. It's wonderful!
     
  2. If you love onions and garlic, this is a recipe for an elegant and totally scrumptious tart that you’ll LOVE! A recipe that will meet the needs of many occasions, and impress those who have NO idea how really simple it is to make. Being an onion and garlic lover, I just loved the sound of this as soon as I’d read the recipe, and I was absolutely delighted by it once I’d made it. Roosie’s instructions were very clear, and those I served it to all LOVED it and wanted the recipe. I cannot report on what it might be like cold or at room temperature. It disappeared too fast for that! Thank you so much, Roosie, for posting this recipe.
