  2. 2Cut lengthwise halfway through each onion.
  3. 3Boil the onions for 10 minutes until softened.
  4. 4Rinse briefly in cold water and carefully separate the layers without tearing them.
  5. 5Mix all filling ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.
  6. 6Place a portion of the mixture onto each onion layer and roll it tightly.
  7. 7Arrange the stuffed onions snugly in a pot or pan to keep them secure.
  8. 8Melt butter in a saucepan and let it brown slightly.
  9. 9Add the chicken bouillon, tomato paste, and 2 cups of water. Mix well.
  10. 10Pour enough sauce over the stuffed onions to almost fully cover them (do not submerge completely).
  11. 11Place a sheet of parchment paper over the onions, cover the pot, and simmer on low heat for 35–45 minutes.
  12. 12For a final touch, high the onions on high for a few minutes to caramelize the tops.
