Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large yellow onions
- 0.75 pounds Italian sausage (casings removed)
- 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pieces egg (beaten)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons pepper
- 1 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the onions and slice off the tops and bottoms to create flat surfaces. Carefully hollow out the centers using a spoon, leaving about 2-3 layers of onion as the shell. Save some of the removed onion layers for the filling and finely chop them.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Italian sausage, panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, parsley, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
Stuff each hollowed onion with the sausage mixture, pressing firmly to pack the filling into the cavity.
Place the stuffed onions in a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth into the dish around the onions, and dot the top of each onion with a small amount of butter.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the tops are golden brown.
Carefully remove the stuffed onions from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve as a side dish or appetizer, and enjoy!
