       Baked Onions with Nut Stuffing
       Choose onions that are hard, with no obvious soft spots. Avoid
       any that are showing signs of sprouting. Although raw onions are
       known for their pungent smell, when cooked they have a mild,
       sweet flavour which contrasts well with the cheesy stuffing.
       INGREDIENTS: Onions - 4 large each weighing 225-275 g (8-10 oz),
       Long grain rice - 150 g (5 oz), Hazelnuts - 50 g (2 oz), Salted
       peanuts - 50 g (2 oz), Tomatoes - 225 g (8 oz) roughly chopped,
       Cheddar cheese - 110 g (4 oz) grated, Dried basil - tsp, Dried
       oregano - tsp, Turmeric - 1 tsp.
       COOKING: 1. Pre-heat oven to 200C / 400F / Gas 6.
       2. Boil the onions in their skins for 45-50 minutes until very
       tender. Drain and leave to cool.
       3. Cook the rice in plenty of boiling water, until tender. Drain
       well.
       4. Put the hazelnuts and peanuts on a sheet of foil and cook
       under the grill until brown, turning frequently. Leave the skins
       on the hazelnuts and finely chop with the peanuts.
       5. Mix the tomatoes with the rice, cheese, nuts, herbs and
       turmeric.
       6. Slice off the tip and root of each onion, but leave on the
       coloured outer skin. Down one side of each onion cut through to
       the centre from tip to root. Ease the onions open.
       7. Divide the stuffing between each onion, pressing it well into
       the centre. Place in a roasting tin, cover and bake for about 40
       minutes. Serve hot.
