Caramelized-Onion Pork

By: Nell Cruse

"'We live in a farming community, and one of our main crops is onion,' writes Nell Cruse of Ontario, Oregon. 'When I competed in a cooking contest at the Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Festival, I was flabbergasted when I won the top three prizes. This was the first-place recipe.'"
