Mediterranean-inspired minced filling baked in sweet red onion shells for a flavorful twist.
Ingredients:
  • 8 red onions, unpeeled
  • 400g lamb mince
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) passata (tomato pasta sauce)
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 40.00 ml fresh breadcrumbs
  • 40.00 ml shredded parmesan
  • 40.00 ml pine nuts
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Boil onions in a large saucepan filled with cold water until tender. Drain and let them cool on a clean surface for 20 minutes.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the mince, stirring to break up any lumps, until it changes color, around 5 minutes. Stir in cinnamon for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add passata and cook until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in parsley and season with salt and pepper.
  • Peel the onions by trimming the base and top of each with a small sharp knife. Use a teaspoon to hollow out the onions, leaving a 1cm shell. Keep 100g (about 1/2 cup) of the onion flesh and finely chop it. Place the onion shells in a baking dish.
  • Combine the reserved onion with the mince mixture, then fill the onion shells with the mixture.
  • In a small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan, and pine nuts. Sprinkle this mixture over the onions and bake for 35-40 minutes until the onions are golden and tender. Serve right away.
