Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Clean the red onions and cut them in half.

Use a pairing knife to excavate the insides of the onion.

Chop the insides of the onion and set aside for the filling.

Salt the inside of the onion halves and drizzle with olive oil.

Prepare the stuffing by mixing the chopped onion insides, diced ham, roasted pepper, whisked egg, cooked arborio rice, grated cheese, and chopped parsley.

Stuff the onion halves with the filling, mounding it nicely.

Place the stuffed onions in a baking dish and add a little wine and stock underneath, avoiding pouring it on top of the stuffing.

Cover the dish with foil and roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes.

Uncover the dish and roast for an additional 30 to 40 minutes until the tops are crispy.

Keep the stuffed onions warm on the stove over low heat until serving.

Revive the sauce with additional stock and add parsley before serving.
