Baked Onions Stuffed with Feta and Pine Nuts

Ingredients

4 large red onions
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup chopped pine nuts
1/2 cup gluten free bread crumbs
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

1
Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a casserole or baking dish. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
2
Peel the onions and cut off 1/8 inch at top and base. Place onions in the saucepan of water and cook for 10-12 minutes or until barely tender. Remove onions with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle.
3
Hollow out the onions using a small paring knife or your fingers, leaving 2-3 layers on the outside edge. Reserve removed sections and chop. Place hollowed out onions in the prepared baking dish.
4
In a medium sauce pan, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil. Once hot, sauté the onions until golden and tender. Add the chopped pine nuts and sauté for a another minute.
5
In a small bowl, combine feta, warm onions and pine nuts. Add cilantro and breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Stir well.
6
Spoon the onion mixture into the onion shells. Loosely cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
