STUFFED ONIONS IN SAUCE

Ingredients:

9 onions
200 ml vegetable broth or white wine
600 ml crushed tomato
Salt
Parsley
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp flour
1 red pepper
50 g of rice
2 cloves of garlic
1 zucchini

Steps:

1. First we are going to make the onion filling: Chop an onion, a clove of garlic, the zucchini and the red pepper. We put it in the pan to fry. When it is golden, we add a glass of crushed tomato. And we let it cook. Meanwhile we are going to move on to the onions, but once the vegetables are cooked we add the rice and sauté for just a few minutes. We reserve.

2. Peel the onions and cut the base so that they sit and the top so that it works as a lid.

3. Empty the onions with a spoon or similar. In this step you have to be especially careful not to break them, the ideal is to leave about two outer layers.

4. Stuff the onions with the filling and cover them. In the pot with a little oil we are going to lightly brown them turn and turn.

5. Now let's go for the sauce: in the pot we put a good amount of oil and add the onion that we have emptied and the clove of garlic that was chopped.

6. Once it is well browned, we add the flour and cook it, add the remaining tomato sauce and the vegetable broth or white wine. We cook for a couple of minutes.

7. We add this sauce to the onions in the pot (You can also pass the sauce through a food processor or blender so that it is completely smooth).

8. Let it cook until the onions are soft (about 1.30 hours).
