Yemista Kremmithia me Crema<\/h5>\nYemista Kremmithia me Crema<\/h5>\nAutumn is a time for indulging in\u00a0comfort food – and Kathy Tsaples’ mouthwatering Stuffed Onions with White Sauce is just that!. This succulent Greek dish\u00a0is the ideal way to warm up when the weather cools down.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n Stuffed Onions<\/strong><\/p>\n 9 large brown onions (8 whole, 1 peeled and grated)<\/p>\n \u00bd cup Greek extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n 750g beef mince<\/p>\n 2 tsp salt<\/p>\n 1 tsp pepper<\/p>\n \u00bd tsp allspice, ground<\/p>\n \u00bd tsp cinnamon, ground<\/p>\n 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped<\/p>\n 2 large tomatoes, peeled and grated<\/p>\n 1 cup medium-grain rice<\/p>\n Creamy white sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 tbsp butter<\/p>\n 1 tbsp plain flour<\/p>\n 3 cups milk, warmed<\/p>\n Pinch of salt<\/p>\n Pinch of grated nutmeg<\/p>\n Squeeze of lemon juice<\/p>\n Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add 1 teaspoon of the salt.<\/p>\n Clean the 8 whole onions by removing the brown layers of skin. Place into boiling water for about 30 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the heat and take the onions out of the water with a slotted spoon. Keep the cooking water.<\/p>\n To make the filling, saut\u00e9 the grated onion in the oil, then add the meat. Gently brown it, then add the remaining salt, pepper, allspice, cinnamon and parsley. Stir to combine, then add the grated tomatoes, rice and about 11\u20442 cups of the onion water. Cook over medium heat until all the liquid has absorbed. \u2028Taste and adjust seasoning and spices if needed, then turn off the heat and allow to sit while you prepare the whole onions.<\/p>\n Using a sharp knife, cut the onions from top to bottom, only as far as the centre, not right through. Carefully peel off the layers one by one, and place each individual layer on a tray to cool. Once this is done, fill each layer of onion. Open each layer gently and fill with the meat mixture, then close it off by tucking one edge inside the other and squeezing together. It should look like an almond, with a point at each end. Repeat with all the layers of onion, carefully laying them in a baking dish as you go.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C\/160\u00b0C fan-forced.<\/p>\n To make the creamy white sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the flour. Stirring vigorously, \u2028cook for a few minutes to remove the floury flavour. Slowly add the warm milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps forming. Once the sauce has thickened, cook for a further 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and the nutmeg. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.<\/p>\n Pour the sauce over the stuffed onions and bake for\u202830\u201340 minutes. Check that the onions are cooked through \u2014 there shouldn\u2019t be any crunch left in them.<\/p>\n We’re very lucky to have Kathy contributing some of her favourite recipes to the Peter’s Blog this year.
