Filled Onions

Bring a pot of water to a boil.

Add 10 large onions and cook for 10 min until softened.

Remove and let them cool.

Carefully peel away the inner layers to create hollow spaces for stuffing.

In a separate pot, cook 100 g quinoa according to package instructions.

Drain and set aside.

Finely mince 1 garlic clove.

In a pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.

Sauté the garlic for about 1 min until fragrant.

Add 250 g ground beef and cook until browned.

Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste.

Season with salt, black pepper, and 1 tsp cumin.

Mix in the cooked quinoa along with freshly chopped parsley, dill, and thyme (to taste).

Gently fill each hollowed onion with the beef–quinoa mixture.

Place the stuffed onions in a baking dish.

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Drizzle a little more olive oil over the onions.

Bake for 30–40 min until the onions are tender and the filling is cooked through.

Let the onions cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy these hearty Filled Onions as a comforting main dish!
