1Prepare the onions — Peel, trim, and score the onions, then boil them until the layers are soft enough to separate.

3Fill the onions — Separate the softened onion layers. Fill and roll each layer, repeating until the filling is used.
4Pack the onions — Pack the stuffed onions tightly into the cooking vessel.
5Add the sauce — Pour over the tomato sauce, cover, and let it cook until done.
