I love onions. I know, onions are really smelly; and yes, they make you cry; I’ll also agree that they are sometimes difficult to stomach raw. With such pungency and pain-inflicting qualities, it stands to reason why onions might be hard to like, but they are also the aromatic core ingredient of delicious preparations all over the world. I don’t hesitate to rush to the defense of my layered friend, and this is often my argument.
I put onions in everything: garlic, shallots, scallions, leeks, red onion, yellow onion, pearl onions, cipollini onions! (Deep breath). If you’re eating my food you can bet that there’s some kind of onion in there. In any state--raw, sweated, or caramelized, without them, it just feels like something is missing.

Ode to a fellow onion enthusiast...
Onions deserve every bit as much love as you've mentioned! I put onions in just about everything too, along w garlic. So good for you.
I really and truly absolutely love your tart recipe! I will try to make it soon and link back to you if you don't mind!
Oh, so funny, when I first read your intro to this post I totally thought of Shrek when he was explaining to Donkey that he was like an onion because "He had many layers like an onion".
Thanks for the comments!
Healthy Mamma, I would love if you would try the recipe! I look forward to checking out the post. And I totally had Shrek in mind too! Glad you got it!

I LOVE onions! Truly they give so much flavor to just about any meal. I even like pickled onions! hehe
Great post! The slowly caramelizing onion smell makes my mouth water. So yummy. Your flatbread looks wonderful!
Yes I love onions too. The way you've caramelized them to put on flat bread, tart or pizza is probably the best way to enjoy them, I think;) Great guest post Marisa, I enjoyed reading your onion love letter, very creative 'Ode to an Onion':)
I'm all for onions, if they're cooked! One of the first things I learned to make in cooking school was a French onion tart--that looks very similar to this. Oh the memories...
What a great guest post on Lazaro's site!! I love onions, especially when they are allowed to really cook and caramelize....yummm
Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe with us, using a much maligned vegetable!
