How to Make Gevulde Uien

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut tops off 4 large onions (about 1kg total), leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Scoop out the insides, reserving them.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Gently boil onion shells for 5 minutes.
  4. Invert onions on a plate to drain.
  5. Finely chop the reserved onion insides (about 2 cups).
  6. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over very low heat. Sauté the chopped onions for 10 minutes, until softened and caramelized.
  7. In a bowl, combine the sautéed onions with 1 pound ground pork, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 cup of bread crumbs (optional, for extra texture). Mix well.
  8. Stuff each onion shell generously with the pork and onion mixture.
  9. Top each stuffed onion with 1 tablespoon grated Gruyère cheese (or your preferred cheese) and 1 teaspoon of butter.
  10. Place the stuffed onions in a shallow baking dish. Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the bottom of the dish.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, basting occasionally with the broth, until the onions are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
