Oh Hello Julia! We're onion lovers here too. This last year, we grew four varieties (in No Florida) and one is the new winner. Tropea. Amazingly easy to grow. And grow. And GROW. They love to grow! HA! Unfussy and soooooo delicious. They have a unique flavor. Mild and clean, but still, clearly onion. They are long and red and keep very well even in this ungodly hot humid place. Oh, the relish. mmm
If I were ever stuck on a desert island, onions would be the ingredient I would most miss. You can't really cook anything with flavour without them. I know from experience of living four winters in the Soviet Union where they disappeared between November and April. I must check if I can get Tropea in Europe.
Hi Julia. I followed this recipe and the result was delicious! Thank you. My only quibble - I feel it should have a name...? All the best. Adam
I'm SO pleased it worked! Any suggestions for a name hungrily received...

They're Calabrian. But we can buy shoots in the States.
