STUFFED PARSLEYED ONIONS

These stuffed onions are a popular vegetarian dish served with fresh crusty bread and a crisp salad. They also make a very good accompaniment to meat dishes.

INGREDIENTS
4 large onions
4 tablespoons cooked rice
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley, plus extra to garnish
4 tablespoons finely grated sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine
salt and freshly ground black pepper

SERVES 4

1. Cut a slice from the top of each onion and scoop out the center, leaving a fairly thick shell. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and stir to mix, moistening with enough white wine to bind the ingredients together well.

2. Use a spoon to fill the onions, then wrap each one in a piece of oiled aluminum foil. Bake in the embers of the fire for 3 0—40 minutes, until tender, turning the parcels often so they cook evenly. Serve the onions garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
