Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Boil water in a large pot for blanching the onions.
- Peel the outer skins of the yellow onions, trim the tops and bottoms, then slice them in half lengthwise.
- Blanch the onion halves in boiling water for 10-15 minutes until layers separate easily. Cool for 15-20 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and shallots for 2-3 minutes. Add ground beef and sausage, cooking until browned.
- Stir in spices, jasmine rice, chopped tomatoes, and chicken broth. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the rice absorbs flavors.
- Remove from heat and fold in chopped parsley. Mix strained tomatoes, remaining chicken broth, and salt for the sauce.
- Stuff each blanched onion half with the savory meat mixture, packing it gently. Place into a greased baking dish.
- Pour the sauce over the stuffed onions, cover with foil, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Optionally broil for 2 minutes for extra browning, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with parsley.

Notes
Choose larger onions for easy stuffing and blanch carefully to avoid mushiness. Prepare a day in advance for better flavor.
