I've never put onions in spankopita. [/quote]
Are you Greek?  Because both sides of my Greek family (from different parts of Greece) put a good bit of onion in their spanakopita.  It's a spring dish, so it is typically made with spring onions and dill, which along with the spinach are all spring crops.  I have had the spanakopita from greek deli and I don't think it has caramelized onions.  The onion for spanakopita is sauteed, but just to translucent, not caramelized.

I don't really use a recipe for my spanakopita -- My usual ingredients are spinach, onion, spring onion, dill, feta, and egg (for binding it together).  Other additions that I have included are other hard cheeses - parmesan, asiago, manchego, or whatever has been lingering in my cheese drawer.  If I have a small amount of yogurt in a tub, sometimes I throw that in.  You could add some ricotta or cottage cheese, but those aren't traditional.  I taste my spinach mix before adding egg - if it tastes good, it's ready to go on the phyllo.[/quote]
