9493 Tropea Onions

I don't know how many of you know these onions, but they come from Calabria and are have a really good taste even when eaten raw.
A friend of ours brought some here during the week and made a simple spaghetti dish using them, very simple, but excellent.
Saute the chopped onion in Olive oil until glazed, add some peperincino to your taste, half a tin of chopped tomatoes and white wine. Reduce down and add to the spaghetti........ excellent. :yes:

I knew about Calabrian aubergines, but not about onions, and I particularly like the red variety. Possibly, they would be terrific to make "Pissaladiera". It is mainly considered a dish from Nice and Monaco, although I found that it is also served in Liguria. Here is the recipe:
