This recipe came from a Moroccan restaurant in the old quarter of Jerusalem. The owners generously gave us this recipe at our request -- in a mixture of Hebrew and Arabic with metric measurements. Many people contributed to the translation, and the result is worth their efforts. So to be faithful, you should actually use 2.2 pounds of onions -- 1 kilo!
