FRESH HERB STUFFED TOMATOES



Fresh Herb Stuffed Tomatoes image

Found this recipe in AllYou Magazine Sept 2008. Really can't mess this recipe up. I love using Campenelle tomatoes but if they are not available try finding Tomatillo tomatoes. Both of these are sturdy tomatoes that hold up well to stuffing/fillings and give you a good 2-3 bite appetizer.

Time 1h

Yield 8 appetizers, 8 serving(s)
