I find the colors of this dish very pretty: the rich red of the port, the deep blackish purple of the prunes, and the golden brown of the caramelized onions remind me of autumn. Serve this with roasted potatoes and sautéed Swiss chard.

Ingredients

  • 1½ tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablesp

Method
