    It looks like they also tossed in pumpkin seeds and are those white dollops some kind of cheese? I know this sight likes to present attractive dishes, but adding things that are not in the recipe really doesn't help.

    Have made this three times and it is my absolute favourite. As with most Spark recipes I double up the spices and added cayenne to this. It is such a delicious filling healthy meal. - 11/30/15

    Is that 5 cups of raw onions and 1/2 cup cilantro added to this recipe. 5 cups raw onion sounds like an awful lot. You don't explain very well. - 10/17/19

    This looks very appetizing and would make without the walnuts. The picture looks as though there are a few other items added. I wonder if they are added into the nutritional facts. I'll be taking out the walnuts so the cals will be lower for me. - 10/17/18

    Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it.

    OK, this looks good BUT--how much olive oil do you toss the squash in? What do you do with the 1/2 cup raw onions that isn't mentioned anywhere in the recipe? You're not trying to tell me that what looks like goat cheese in the photo is raw onion? And where is the cilantro? - 10/17/17
