This recipe was extracted from Soyer's standard cookery (1912) by Nicolas Soyer, page 97. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Spanish Onions en Surprise. Put some Spanish onions, which have been peeled and washed, into a saucepan containing plenty of cold salted water; when the water boils up draw the pan to the side of the stove, and let them cook gently until they are parboiled. Drain the onions and carefully remove the middles: place some savory rice in each, pressing it well into the onion, put them on a baking-tin which has been rubbed with some good butter or beef dripping, and surround them with small pieces of fat, cover the onions with greased paper, and let them cook slowly in a moderately-heated oven for four hours, basting them fre- quently. Serve with thick tomato sauce
