Salivating just looking at the picture! I'm having visions of coming home from an icy 'dook' in the Moray Firth to a steaming plateful of this ... with a healthy glass of a rich red ('take a little wine for thy stomach's sake'!) to wash it down. I agree - cooking without the humble onion is just not an option. I interplant my carrots and parsley with spring onions; never had a problem with carrot fly!
This looks delicious! Also: as food (obviously) and Desert Island Discs are things you enjoy, I've got a podcast for you: https://desertislanddishes.co/podcast/
I have the Bruno cookbook, and I did cook it twice as long, made the day before, sat over night and then reheated low and slow...I have the Bruno cookbook....also did not have enough prunes so there were some dates and figs...
I'm curious why onions disappeared in Moscow during the winter. Elsewhere, they are a storage crop like potatoes, beets, and cabbage, which I'm guessing were readily available during the winter.
Made that beef & prunes a week ago to have friends over for a “Bruno” dinner.. good golly it was good!!
My onion cutting trick is to wear my contact lenses, as they stop whatever it is from making you cry.
