Caramelized Stuffed Onion

Ingredients (serves six people)

• 6 pc Vidalia Onions
• ½ pound Pork, lean, ground
• ¼ cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
• 1 Egg, whisked
• 1 cup Brown Rice, cooked
• ½ teaspoon Oregano, chopped
• 1 Tablespoon Parsley, chopped
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• ½ teaspoon Paprika

1. Preheat an oven to 350⁰F. Line a baking pan with wax paper.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While the water is heating, peel the Vidalia onions and slice off the tops. Cook the onions in the boiling water for 15 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the water and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Once cooled, remove the inner flesh from the onions. Chop the inner flesh.
3. In a large sauté pan, heat ½ of the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until the meat is brown. Remove the meat, then add the chopped onion and green pepper. Cook for two minutes, then add the rice and herbs. Cook for an additional two minutes, then remove from the heat. Place the mixture in a bowl, then add the egg. Mix well, then place the mixture inside the hollow onions. Place the onions on the baking pan, then top with the remaining olive oil and paprika. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
