Iraqi Stuffed Onions With Lamb and Couscous

Today, we are trying Iraqi stuffed onions. Individual layers of cooked onion are wrapped around a fragrant combination of spiced lamb, couscous, nuts and golden raisins and served with tomato sauce and thick yoghurt on the side. It is a slightly time-consuming recipe, but it serves approximately 8 to 10 people and makes for delicious leftovers.

If you don’t have more exotic ingredients such as sumac spice, substitute for nutmeg or allspice, or the pomegranate molasses, then use one tablespoon of date or regular molasses. It is also easy to omit the lamb in this stuffed onions recipe to make it vegetarian.
