Stuffed onions…Usually you see them stuffed with ham, sausage or mincemeat. But this is my alternative to stuffed onions: soymince stuffing!!
You need :
6 large onions
1 cup soymince
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp barbecue spices
1 onion stock cube
1/2 vegetable stock cube
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp nutritional yeast ( optional)
1/2 cup tomato puree
1 tbsp olive oil + more for baking
Cut the top of the onion and cut off from the other side as well, only the tip of the onion. Like that:
Put them to boil or steam for 15 min ( until soft not mushy!). Now boil the soy mince as well to soften it.(3-4 min) Drain soymince and onions and leave to cool. Once you can touch onions take out all inside of onion, leaving 2-3 layers( onion shell).
Preheat oven at 180c.
Chop up the inside of 3 onions and place in a saucepan adding soymince, tomato puree, stock cubes, spices, oil and salt. Cook for 15 minutes stirring often. 5 minutes before you finish cooking the stuffing add nutritional yeast and stir.
Now place onion shells on an oiled baking dish and with a spoon, take some of the soymince and stuff onions like that:
Bake for 30 minutes and serve! Makes 6 big onion shells.
