2 large sweet or Spanish onions (about 1 1/2 lb total, peeled) 2 tsp olive oil 1 clove garlic 1 tsp fresh lemon juice 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper 1/4 cup bread crumbs 1/4 cup chopped, reconstituted sun-dried tomatoes 2 Tbsp minced parsley 1/4 cup (1-ounce) crumbled feta cheese

Scoop out center of each onion half, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Reserve the centers. If necessary, cut a small piece from the end of each onion shell so shells will stand upright.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Chop reserved centers of onions. Saut� in oil with garlic in a medium saucepan until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and pepper. Remove from the heat; stir in bread crumbs, tomatoes, parsley and cheese.
Fill onion shells with mixture. Set on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with foil and bake about 25 minutes. Serve hot.
