2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup grated carrot (120 g)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
Peel the onions and cut them in half (like an orange)
Remove enough pulp to leave a 1 cm thick 'shell'
Finely chop the removed pulp
Sprinkle salt into the cavities and let it sit while preparing the filling
Sauté the garlic, carrot, and onion pulp in olive oil for a few minutes
Add the cheese, parsley, and season to taste
Fill the onion halves with this mixture
Place melted butter or margarine in a baking dish
Arrange the stuffed onions on top
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 220°C for 15 minutes, or until the onion is tender
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize the onion slightly
Serve warm.
