Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Stuffed Onions
- Cut the tops and bottoms off the large yellow onions, carefully peel them without breaking the layers.
- Make a slit along one side of each onion and place them in salted boiling water. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until softened. Reserve broth.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add chopped onion, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add ground beef, cook until browned, season, and mix in pureed tomatoes.
- Add arborio rice and stir well. Pour in reserved onion broth and mix in parsley, oregano, dill, and mint. Stir on low heat for 10 minutes.
- Gently stuff each onion layer with the filling, ensuring not to overload, and keep seam side down.
- Arrange stuffed onions seam-side down in a baking dish; preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Combine additional pureed tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and remaining onion broth. Cover stuffed onions with the sauce.
- Cover and bake for 45 minutes, then remove foil and bake for 35-45 more minutes until tender.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy with Greek yogurt and crusty bread.
