STEPS

1

Cut 1 inch from each end of onions and make a single cut down each onion. Stand them upright.

2

Simmer onions in salted water for 20-30 minutes until softened. Reserve cooking water and allow onions to cool.

3

Brown half the ground beef in olive oil over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add diced onions, spices, and cook until translucent, another 5 minutes.

4

Stir in garlic, dried oregano, tomato paste, rice, vinegar, and chicken broth; cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Cool rice mixture for 15 minutes.

5

Mix remaining ground beef, feta, parsley, mint, oregano, and the cooled rice mixture. Refrigerate until needed.

6

To prepare tomato broth, combine reserved onion cooking water, tomato sauce, and chicken bouillon paste. Heat gently.

7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

8

Separate onion layers and prepare 18 pieces suitable for stuffing. Tear or chop extra onion for the bottom of the baking dish.

9

Fill each onion section with approximately 2 tablespoons of filling, roll up, and place in the baking dish. Ladle tomato broth over stuffed onions, cover with foil.

10

Bake covered for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 1 hour more. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
