How do I prepare the onions for stuffing?

You'll peel the large onions, boil them for 8 minutes in lightly salted water, then drain, dig out the pulp, and place them upside down to remove excess water.

What kind of vegan cheese works best for this recipe?

The recipe specifies using any kind of vegan cheese that melts well, ensuring a creamy and cohesive filling for the stuffed onions.

What binds the stuffing mixture together?

Chickpea flour is added to the vegan cheese, carrots, onion, and herbs mixture to create a consistency that is not too soft, allowing it to hold its shape when stuffed into the onions.

Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?

While the recipe doesn't explicitly state it, you could likely prepare the carrot, onion, cheese, and herb mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator, then stuff and bake the onions just before serving.

How should I store leftover stuffed onions?

Leftover baked stuffed onions can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
