Stuffed Tomato

Ingredients

• 3 tomatoes (approximately 90g each)
• 110g fresh breadcrumbs
• 20g garlic (3 cloves)
• 15g parsley
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 3 tablespoons of freshly grated cheese (ideally parmesan)

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 3

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°c.
2. Cut the top off each tomato and, using a teaspoon, scoop out all of the seeds to leave the tomato hollow. Peel and finely chop the garlic and parsley.
3. Put the bread into a food processor and blend it for about 30 seconds until it is a fine crumb. Then add the garlic and parsley to the breadcrumbs, season it with salt & pepper and blend it for a further 10 seconds to mix them together.
4. Season the inside of the tomatoes with salt & pepper and then spoon in the stuffing, making sure not to compress it too tightly.
5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil onto the stuffing of each tomato, then sprinkle on the cheese and place them into a lightly oiled roasting tin.
6. Put them into the oven for 15 minutes.
7. Remove them from the oven and serve.
