About the dish

The book also suggests other fillings: risotto, tomatoes or spinach soufflé. Brown sauce served alongside completes the dish.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Boil the onions

    Peel the onions and cut off the top quarter. Boil them in the boiling salted water until tender. Lay on a cloth and scoop out the middle with a teaspoon.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    Chop the scooped-out onion finely. Simmer it in half the butter with the chopped mushrooms, tomato purée, pepper and parsley. Take off the heat after 5 minutes and let cool. Mix with the same weight of forcemeat.

  3. 3

    Fill and bake

    Fill the onions with the mixture. Lightly brown the rest of the butter in a casserole, add the onions and place in a hot oven for about 15 minutes, until nicely golden brown. Baste with butter.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the onions with 1/4 l brown sauce. They can also be filled with risotto, tomatoes or spinach soufflé.
