Method

Trim the stalks and stems from the onions so they can sit upright on either end, then cut in half widthways. Use a teaspoon to carefully scoop out the middle of the onion, leaving the base and about 2 layers at the sides intact. Steam the outer layers for 10 mins until tender; finely chop the middle.
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the chopped onion with a pinch of salt and fry for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until golden. Tip into a bowl and mix in the thyme, breadcrumbs, tomatoes, cheese and pine nuts.
Fill the onion shells with the stuffing mixture and place in small baking dish. Drizzle with a little oil and bake for 20-25 mins until golden. Sprinkle with the extra thyme to serve.
