  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  1. Cut the onions into thin slices. Put them to sauté with the olive oil in a covered earthenware pot on low heat for about 15 minutes. Add broth, cinnamon, honey and almonds and cook for other 20 minutes or until the broth is evaporated.

  2. Meanwhile grease the bread with butter and toast it.
