| 1. Peel the onions and cut off the ends. | 2. Using a sharp knife, cut from the top to bottom on one side of each onion through to the center only and no further. | 3. Boil for about 15 minutes or until the onions soften and start to open so that each layer can be detached. | 4. Drain and separate each layer carefully. | 5. Knead the ingredients for the stuffing. Put a walnut-sized lump into each onion layer and roll up tightly. | 6. Line the bottom of a large, heavy saucepan with the unused small bits of onion and pack the rolls tightly over them in layers. | 7. Dissolve the pomegranate syrup or the tamarind concentrate in 10 fl oz boiling water. | 8. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and the oil and pour over the onions. | 9. Add more water to cover and place a plate on top to hold them down. | 10. Simmer gently for about 30 minutes, or until the onions are very tender and the water mainly absorbed, adding a little water to cover, if necessary, during the cooking. | 11. Turn out the onion rolls and place them in circles in a large, flat oven proof dish. | 12. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and place them under the grill for a few minutes to give them an attractive brown color and a caramelized flavor. | 13. Serve hot or cold. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
