Ingredients

• 4 pieces large yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the onions, leaving the root end intact, and cut off the top quarter of each onion. Trim the ends slightly if necessary to help them sit flat in the baking dish.

Step 3

Using a melon baller or small spoon, hollow out the center of each onion, creating a cavity about 1 inch deep. Reserve the removed onion pieces for the filling.

Step 4

Finely chop the reserved onion pieces and set them aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion pieces and minced garlic, cooking for 3-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the breadcrumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

Stuff each hollowed onion with the breadcrumb filling, pressing it down gently to pack it in.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the stuffed onions and place them in a baking dish. Pour the vegetable or chicken stock into the bottom of the dish to help steam the onions as they bake.

Step 9

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the tops are golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
