Mrs. Farhi is teaching us how to make a classic Syrian dish that she learned how to make from her husband's Sito (grandmother). These stuffed onions are sweet, sticky and lemony, and will easily become a favorite on your Shabbat table.
Get the recipe:
Onion Mechshi
6Â Spanish onions (or other large, sweet onions)
1 and 1/2 pounds chopped meat (not super lean)
1/2 cup medium grain white rice (may be substituted with brown rice, but must be boiled first to slightly soften)

I made this for our Purim Seuda and those with a sweeter tooth enjoyed immensely..As I was in aveilos our Seuda was small,so we saved the leftovers as something to eat on Erev Shabbos Hagodol when some of our Pesach guests were here.. It was a major HIT!!
