PREPARATION

  1. Peel the onions, cut them lengthwise, and boil for 10 minutes until softened. Let cool and carefully separate the outer layers.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients.
  4. Fill each onion layer with the lamb mixture and arrange in a baking dish.
  5. Scatter dried plums between the stuffed onions, then pour over the sauce. Cover with foil.
  6. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45 minutes until the onions are tender and infused with flavour.
  7. Serve warm, topped with pomegranate seeds and remaining plums.
