Get ready to indulge in the most epic Greek Beef Stuffed Onions, also known as Salantourmasi, of your life!

Today, we’re diving into the world of traditional Greek cuisine, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!. No more boring, plain onions!

Imagine tender onions, slow-baked in a rich tomato-onion broth, filled with a delicious mixture of Greek-seasoned beef and rice. It’s a match made in heaven!

First, let’s start by preparing our onions. Cut 1 inch from each end of the onions, then stand them on a flat side and make a cut straight down from top to bottom. This will help us separate the layers easily.

Next, bring a saucepan with salted water to a simmer and add the onions. Let them cook for 20-30 minutes, or until they’re soft enough to separate the layers. Remove the onions from the water and let them cool.

While the onions are cooking, heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the ground beef and cook until it’s browned and crumbly, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.

Add some diced onions, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to the skillet and cook until the onions are translucent. Then, add some garlic, dried oregano, and tomato paste, and cook for a few minutes.

Add some rice to the skillet and stir until it’s evenly coated with the beef and onion mixture. Then, add some vinegar and chicken broth, and cook until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.

Once the rice mixture has cooled, add the remaining beef, some crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, mint, and oregano to a bowl. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.

Now it’s time to assemble our stuffed onions. Separate the onion sections and set aside the best 18 pieces. Add some of the rice and beef mixture to each onion section, and roll them up to cover the filling.

Place the stuffed onions in a baking dish, and ladle some tomato broth over them. Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour.

Remove the foil and continue baking for another hour, or until the onions are tender and the filling is fully cooked. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.

And that’s it! A delicious and traditional Greek dish that’s sure to become a favorite. The combination of tender onions, flavorful beef and rice, and rich tomato broth is absolutely irresistible.
