Stuffed Red Onions
Method
- Remove the outer skin from each onion but leave the last layer intact. Put the onions into a large pan of water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until almost tender. Drain and set aside to cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile prepare the filling. Put the celery and red pepper into a small pan with the water and stock powder. Simmer until just tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Turn into a bowl.
- Cut bread into small cubes. Add to the bowl with the chestnut pieces.
- Heat the oven to 200° C. Slice off the top third from each onion and discard. Take a teaspoon and scoop out two-thirds of the middle of the onions. Chop 30 ml of the scooped out onion and add to the filling (the rest can be used in another dish).
- Add the cottage and Parmesan cheese to the filling and mix well. Scoop back into the hollowed out onion cases.
- Brush the outsides of the stuffed onions with olive oil, place into an ovenproof dish. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
