Steps:
- Cut off the top 1/2-inch from the core side of the tomatoes. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and flesh surrounding them, leaving the exterior intact in a bowl shape.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, vinegar, anchovies and garlic. Doing this will help disperse the anchovies evenly with the rest of the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the tuna, cucumbers, parsley, olives, tomatoes, capers, onions and shallots. Season with salt and pepper and dress in the anchovy mixture. Add more olive oil as needed to moisten the mixture, but it should not be wet.
- Divide the filling among the tomatoes and top with some Toasted Garlic and Herb Breadcrumbs and shaved ricotta salata.
- Cut the crusts from the bread and tear it into small pieces. Place in a food processor and pulse until a coarse-crumb consistency is reached. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toss to coat and continue to cook, stirring constantly. When the breadcrumbs begin to brown, stir in the parsley and garlic, and toast until golden brown, an additional minute. Remove from the pan and cool.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes. This will ensure that they hold their shape when baked and won't get too mushy.
- Scoop out the tomato flesh carefully. Use a sharp knife to make a clean cut around the stem, then use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Be careful not to tear the tomato skin.
- Season the tomato flesh. Before stuffing the tomatoes, toss the flesh with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes.
- Use a variety of fillings. The recipe in the article uses a tuna salad filling, but you can also use other fillings, such as cooked ground beef, chicken, or sausage.
- Bake the tomatoes until they are tender. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the tomatoes and the filling you are using.
- Serve the tomatoes hot or cold. Stuffed tomatoes are delicious served hot out of the oven, but they can also be served cold as a refreshing summer meal.

Baked stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as an appetizer. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give baked stuffed tomatoes a try!
