Recipe: Baked Stuffed Onions (using walnuts and bread crumbs)

BAKED STUFFED ONIONS

4 medium yellow onions
2 tbsp honey or other sweetener
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup wheat germ or bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley (for garnish)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel onions and slice about a half inch off the top of each onion. Hollow out a bowl shaped space to hold about 1/4 cup filling. Slice enough off the bottom to let onions stand upright. Set onions in a baking pan.

Combine remaining ingredients, except parsley. Place about 1/3 cup of water around onions. Bake 30 minutes, adding water, 1/4 cup at a time if needed.

Remove onions from oven and place filling in the 'bowl' each onion.

Return to oven and bake another 30 minutes or until softened.

Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
