- ONIONS: Peel onions and cut into thin slices.
- Put onion rings into pot with red wine, aceto balsamico, bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon and bring to a boil.
- Then let cook on low heat for about 45 minutes.
- In the end the onions should be very soft and the fluid should be boiled away.

- When onions are soft and tender add honey and salt and pepper to taste.
- Keep warm until serving.
- BEANS: Meanwhile put canned cannellini beans into a pot with the fluid.
- Add garlic and rosemary sprig and warm up on low heat.
- Should take about 15 minutes.

- When beans are tender pour off through a sieve, but remain some of the fluid.
- Put beans into a food processor and add rosemary leaves.
- Add olive oil and puree until smooth.
- If still too dry add some of the cooking fluid.
- Keep warm until serving.
- PRAWNS: Place a steamer basket in a suited pot and fill in just enough water, that it will not reach the steamer basket.
- Bring water to a boil.
- Add prawns in shell and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until prawns are done.
- If you prefer peeled prawns cook them for about 4-6 minutes only.
- SERVING: on a preheated serving platter arrange the bean puree, the onions and prawns.
