Tasty and not too hard to make. If you prefer, use 8 small tomatoes, bake in muffin cups and reduce baking time to 15 minutes.

1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh parsley
½ teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a small saucepan over high heat, bring water to a boil. Stir in rice; cover and remove from heat. Let stand covered 5 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with fork.
