"This was so.... good!" Hubby and I loved it. It's a keeper recipe. I used 2 large red onions for the amount of cauliflower I had. The timing for all was right on. I didn't have pine nuts and used chopped fine walnuts. It was a good alternative. Otherwise, I followed your instructions. Thank you for a "tasty veggie recipe".

We really enjoyed this. I only had one red onion left so used that with two white onions. I love pine nuts so really enjoyed the every-so-often bite of one.

The caramelized onions contrasted nicely in colour, texture, and taste with the cauliflower. However, the pine nuts really didn't add anything. I would a lot more caramelized onions.
