Vegan Stuffed Onion

Onions and I have a complex history, I’ll tell you about it sometime. As the years go by I love it more and more.
Stuffed onions are usually crowded layer on layer in a pot, cooked on the stove. like stuffed vine leaves. But I much prefer the baked version. The onions are baked for a long time, caramelized with the reduced tomato sauce. Only stews that are baked for a long time can offer such a deep flavor. The only downside is that it is difficult to stop eating.
