Ingredients:
4 large sweet onions ( Vidalla are good)
8 slices bacon, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
1 small ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced
Directions:
Very carefully hollow out the onions leaving shells about 1/2 inch thick.
Set aside the shells and finely chop the onion pieces.
Place the shells in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook about 6 minutes.
Place the bacon in a skillet set over medium heat and saute until just transparent.
Add the chopped onion and continue to saute 3 minutes, until onions are beginning to color.
Remove from heat and pour into a bowl containing the parsley, bread crumbs, and marjoram. Stir well, then add the beaten egg, parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in tomato pieces.
Spoon stuffing into prepared onion shells. Place shells in a greased baking dish large enough to hold the onions in one layer.
Cover dish with foil and bake 1 hour at 375 degrees, or until onions are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
