The New York Times Food Section             Stuffed Onions By(https://cooking.nytimes.com/author/kay-chun) Kay Chun      (Stuffed Onions)  Christopher Testani for The New York Times   Total Time 1½ hours  Rating 4            (878)  Notes Read 86 community notes       These elegant onions are stuffed with beautiful saffron-tinged basmati rice. The fluffy rice is infused with fragrant spices and studded with toasted nuts and dried fruit for a vibrant and textured jeweled look. The onion layers and rice can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated. These festive onions are a great accompaniment to any large protein roast (fish, chicken, steak) and make for a stunning vegetarian main dish. Use any mix of preferred chopped dried fruit; apricots, dates and currants are all nice alternatives.        Save       Give
