I thought the photograph was beautiful, so I wanted to try this myself. I was a little worried that mine wouldn't turn out as well as the picture. I don't know if I didn't wait long enough for the onions to cool, or if I didn't cut them good enough, but I had problems getting the pieces of onion apart, and quite a few tore. However, I did get some apart and was able to stuff some. I tought the filling was delicious! I'm not sure if I would make this again necessarily as is--I may make the meat filling and use it in a different way because it's so good. Cooking the beef and sausage together helps the beef taste like sausage, which I liked. If I do try this recipes again and stuff onions, I think I will use different onions--I'm not too big of a fan of sweet onions.
