(Onions, Spanish) Spanish onions are considered to be one of the milder
varieties of onions, but we have found that the "sharpness" can vary quite a
bit. They are a large onion and are excellent for making sandwich slices.
Spanish onions are members of the lily family as are all other onions and
garlic. The nutritional values of onions are similar, so we suggest that you
choose your onions primarily by flavor and serving appearance. See nutritional
chart below.

The
above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every
tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the
earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that
has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all
that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
