Mrs. Farhi is teaching us how to make a classic Syrian dish that she learned how to make from her husband's Sito (grandmother). These stuffed onions are sweet, sticky and lemony, and will easily become a favorite on your Shabbat table.

I made this for our Purim Seuda and those with a sweeter tooth enjoyed immensely..As I was in aveilos our Seuda was small,so we saved the leftovers as something to eat on Erev Shabbos Hagodol when some of our Pesach guests were here.. It was a major HIT!!
