Preparation of Stuffed Onions:

-We start by making cuts toward the center of the onions as shown in the video and boiling them for approximately 10 minutes.

-While the onions are boiling, we prepare the filling. We mix the ingredients listed above in a large bowl. We chop the parsley, onion, garlic, and tomato into very small pieces.

-We separate the boiled onions into layers as shown in the video. Since we have boiled them slightly, this process will be easy. They will separate from their layers.

-We fill the onion pieces with the rice mixture, wrap them carefully as shown in the video, and arrange them in our pot.

-We add the tomato sauce and place a plate on top to prevent them from falling apart while cooking, then start cooking over medium heat. You can add extra water gradually by eye.

-You can adjust your cooking time according to the softness of the rice in the stuffed onions.

-Once the rice is completely soft, we turn off the stove, add the pomegranate molasses, and let it rest.
