“Happy is the family which can eat onions together. They are, for the time
being, separate from the world and have a harmony of aspiration.”

Gigi’s Ratatouille-Stuffed Onions

 6 large onions, cut in half crosswise
1 1/2 cups finely chopped bell pepper
3/4 cup peeled and finely chopped eggplant
3/4 cup finely chopped zucchini
3/4 cup thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups peeled, seeded and chopped tomato
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crumbled
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Cut a thin slice from the bottom of onion halves, if necessary, for onions
to sit upright. Scoop out onions, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell. Chop onion centers to measure 1 1/2 cups; reserve remaining onion for another use. Place onion shells, upright, in a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish; add hot
water to dish to a depth of 1 inch. Bake, covered, at 400 degrees F. for
35 minutes or until tender. Remove shells, drain, and keep warm. Cook
reserved 1 1/2 cups chopped onion, bell pepper, eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms and garlic in oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat,
stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until tender. Add tomato, wine, tomato
paste, salt, pepper, and thyme; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, 12 minutes, or until most of
liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat; stir in 3 tablespoons pine
nuts. Spoon vegetable mixture evenly into onion shells; sprinkle with
Parmesan cheese and remaining pine nuts. Serve immediately.
Serves 12.
