Description

Imagine tender, caramelized onions, their layers yielding to a savory filling of seasoned ground beef and subtly sweet red bell pepper. This recipe transforms humble onions into an elegant and satisfying dish, perfect for a comforting weeknight meal or an impressive dinner party centerpiece. The preparation begins by carefully selecting large, firm onions.

Once hollowed, their cavities become the perfect vessel for a flavorful mixture. The ground beef, browned to perfection, forms the heart of the stuffing. A blend of aromatic spices infuses the beef with warmth, while the diced red bell pepper introduces a touch of sweetness and vibrant color.

As the stuffed onions bake, their natural sugars begin to caramelize, creating a beautiful golden-brown exterior and a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The aroma that fills the kitchen is simply irresistible, a tantalizing preview of the deliciousness to come. The beef filling, infused with the essence of the roasted onions, becomes incredibly succulent and flavorful.

Each bite offers a delightful contrast of textures: the soft, yielding onion, the savory, slightly crumbly beef, and the gentle sweetness of the red bell pepper. Once baked, the stuffed onions can be served as a delightful main course. Their rich flavor pairs beautifully with a variety of sides.

Consider serving them alongside fluffy cauliflower rice to keep the meal light and wholesome, or perhaps a refreshing avocado salad for a vibrant and creamy counterpoint. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can add an extra touch of elegance and flavor. This dish is not only delicious but also visually appealing.

The golden-brown onions, filled with their colorful mixture, make for a stunning presentation. Whether you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal or a dish to impress your guests, these stuffed onions are sure to be a hit. The combination of savory beef, sweet pepper, and caramelized onion creates a harmonious blend of flavors that will leave you wanting more.

This recipe offers a unique and satisfying way to enjoy the simple goodness of onions, elevated to a culinary delight.

Instructions

    1.
    Peel the outer skin from the onions and slice off the very tops and bottoms. Carefully slice a thin segment from each onion, just enough to be able to easily peel the individual layers.
    2.
    Add the peeled onions to a large pan of boiling water and simmer for 10-12 minutes until tender.
    3.
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
    4.
    Drain the onions and set aside to cool. Whilst the onions are cooling, very finely dice the bell pepper and add to a mixing bowl along with the beef, dried herbs and spices, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
    5.
    Once the onions are cool, carefully peel away three layers from each. Retain the remaining onion if desired for another meal.
    6.
    Divide the spicy beef mixture into 6 even meatballs and arrange in the center of each of the onion strips.
    7.
    Roll the onion tightly around each meatball, securing the filling inside.
    8.
    Arrange the stuffed onions seam side down across a shallow oven tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Transfer to the oven to roast for 28-30 minutes, spooning over the cooking juices halfway through. The beef should be completely cooked through and the onion golden and tender.
