Steps:
- Place the bulgur in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Let stand for 1 hour. Drain well. Meanwhile, slice the top 1/4 inch off of the tomatoes. Scoop out the center of the tomatoes, being careful not to tear the shells; reserve the insides for another use. Place the tomatoes, tops and bottoms, on a layer of paper towels, cut side down. Let stand for 30 minutes. Pat the inside of the tomatoes dry.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add the onion, feta, raisins, parsley and mint to the bulgur and stir to combine. Mix in the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spray a baking sheet lightly with the olive oil. Spoon the filling into the tomato shells, top with the lids and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake just until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is hot, about 20 minutes; do not let the tomatoes get too soft. Divide among plates and serve immediately.

Tips for Cooking Bulgur with Onion, Tomato, and Feta:
- Choose a high-quality bulgur: Look for whole grain bulgur that has a nutty flavor and a chewy texture.
- Soak the bulgur before cooking: Soaking the bulgur in hot water for 30 minutes will help to soften it and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a flavorful broth: Use a vegetable broth or chicken broth instead of water to add more flavor to the bulgur.
- Add aromatics: Sauteing onions, garlic, and other aromatics in olive oil before adding the bulgur will help to develop a rich flavor.
- Season the bulgur: Be generous with salt and pepper, and add other spices and herbs to taste.
- Cook the bulgur until it is tender: The bulgur should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
