Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the onions and slice off the tops. Carefully hollow out the centers using a spoon, leaving about 2-3 layers intact so they hold their shape. Set the onion shells aside and finely chop the removed onion cores.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion cores and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the stuffing and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Generously stuff each hollowed onion with the prepared filling and place them in a baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed onions.
Pour the broth into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the onions moist while baking.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the onions cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light appetizer. Enjoy!
