Ingredients

• 4 large yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup button mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (nut-free)
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped thyme leaves
• 0.5 cup vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated dairy-free cheese (optional if vegan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the onions and slice off the top 1/2 inch of each. Trim a small amount off the bottoms so they sit flat. Carefully scoop out the center layers of each onion, leaving a sturdy shell about 2 to 3 layers thick. Reserve the onion centers for the filling.

Step 3

Finely chop the reserved onion centers.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onions, and mushrooms, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

Step 5

Stir in the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable broth into the mixture a little at a time, stirring until the filling is moist but not soggy. Optional: Stir in the grated dairy-free cheese for extra creaminess.

Step 7

Lightly oil a baking dish with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange the onion shells in the dish.

Step 8

Spoon the herbed filling into the hollowed onion shells, packing the mixture gently but firmly.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, until the onions are tender and slightly browned on top.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy!
