Stuffed Onions with Minced Meat and Trahana

Directions

First, clean the onions and place them in boiling water with a pinch of salt. Let them boil for a maximum of 20-30 minutes. Then, carefully remove the onions using a slotted spoon and let them cool.
While waiting for the onions to cool, prepare the minced meat mixture. In a bowl, combine the minced beef, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and trahana.
Now, return to the onions and trim a small part of the bottom (where the root is) and cut off the top (where the stem is) to create a lid. Take the onion in your hands and, using a small spoon, hollow out the interior, leaving three outer layers intact.
Place the hollowed onions in a baking dish. Finely chop the removed onion pieces (not all of them as there may be too many) and add them to the minced meat mixture. Mix well, and then start filling the onions.
In a separate bowl, mix the grated tomato with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Pour the mixture over the stuffed onions.
Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes. Just before removing them from the oven, sprinkle grated cheese on top.
Enjoy your meal!
