Steps

1

Slice the top of the tomatoes and using a small spoon scoop out the flesh leaving just a little on the skin. Place the tomato flesh in a blender together with the sugar and the tomato paste. Wash the rice thoroughly and mix it with the raisins and the pine nuts.
2

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in the olive oil. Finely chop the parsley too and place everything in the pot to cook for 15 minutes.
3

Stuff the gemista and arrange them in the baking tray, then blend the diced tomatoes in the food processor.
4

Mix the diced tomatoes with the rice that you have left over from the stuffing and pour it over the baking tray. Pour a cup of water and a little olive oil on top of that.
5

Optionally, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
6

Bake for 1 hour at 180°C.
