WHAT IS THE BEST TOMATO VARIETY FOR STUFFING? It’s fun to experiment with different varieties when making stuffed tomatoes. For this recipe, you want to find a medium-sized, firm-fleshed variety. The best stuffing varieties shouldn’t have partitions in the cavity that are packed with gel and seeds; instead, look for varieties that have a seed bed cluster, almost like a small strawberry inside the tomato.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut the crowns off the tomatoes and reserve. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the tomato pulp and puree it in a food processor. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Add half the herbs and half the olive oil. Stir in the bread cubes, letting the mixture sit , till it absorbs the wonderful juices. Add the cheese and olives to the bread-tomato mixture. Mix in remaining olive oil and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F/180C.
  • Lightly oil a small baking dish and place the tomatoes in the dish. The dish should be large enough for the tomatoes to fit snugly. Stuff the tomatoes with the cheese-bread mixture. Place the tomato crowns back on the tomatoes. Bake until the tomatoes are soft and the filling oozy, about 20 - 30 minutes. Remove and serve.
