This is an adaptation from Woman's Encyclopedia of Cookery. The smell of the onions in the olive oil enticed even my children. This is hearty and can be the main dish, or served with lamb. We usually have it over a large bed of spinach. Sometimes we add fresh chopped tomatoes and thinly sliced onions. I certainly feel this is a comfort food.
