Choose big tomatoes, cut off the top 1/2 inch of each tomato; set aside the tops. Using a grapefruit spoon, very carefully remove as much pulp as possible from each tomato, without piercing the skin. Chop the pulp or blend until tomato juice. In a large skillet, heat the oil and sauté the onions over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the rice and sauté, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add a half of tomato juice, salt, pepper, parsley and 1/2 cup water and let it boiled for 5 minutes. Stuff the tomatoes with the rice mixture and cover with the tomato tops. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Spray with a little olive oil, water and a the other half of tomato juice. Place the tomatoes in a  baking dish and bake for 1 hour in the oven at 200 °C.
