Osch Pyozee

Osh pyozee, meaning stuffed onions, is an Afghan specialty made with onions filled with rice, ground meat, feta cheese, and prunes. Layers of boiled yellow onions are topped with a mixture of cooked rice, ground lamb, feta, prunes, and sautéed garlic with cumin seeds. The onion layers are tightly folded around the filling, drizzled with oil, and then baked until nicely browned and fragrant. This savory treat is usually consumed as an appetizer, but it can also be served as a main dish or an accompaniment to various Afghan dishes.
