"Excellent version of the classic side dish. The baking of the onions didnt work for me so i fried them. Much better result. I think i will cut out the salt on the onion coating. Baking the onions doesnt do the job i recommend you fry them until crispy brown. "

"Outstanding dish the first time i made it. It is a bit laborious to make timewise but well worth the effort. I used a bottle of good chianti. I usually give away some of my efforts in the kitchen but not this one. Too good for that! Thank you emeril. Adding short ribs to the pot and doing the mashed and leeks and fennel this time. Cant wait!"
