Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 250 milliliters vegetable stock
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Peel the outer layers of the onions, keeping them whole. Trim the tops and bottoms slightly to create a flat base.
Using a small knife or a melon baller, carefully hollow out the center of each onion, leaving a shell about 1cm thick. Reserve the removed onion pieces.
Finely chop the reserved onion bits and set them aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the thyme, parsley, breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan to the skillet. Mix everything together and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stuff the hollowed onions with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it firmly into each onion.
Place the stuffed onions in a baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and pour the vegetable stock into the base of the dish.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the stuffing is golden on top.
Serve hot as a side dish or a main with a fresh salad or crusty bread.
