FRESH HERB STUFFED TOMATOES
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a 9x13" baking dish.
- Cut tops off tomatoes and spoon out the flesh. Place flesh in a sieve and press down lightly to retain juices (you will need 1/4 cup of juice total). Blot insides of tomatoes with a towel to remove excess juices. Season insides with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter with 2 tbs of the olive oil in a skillet over LOW heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in bread crumbs, herbs and Parmesan. Stir in reserved 1/4 cup tomato juices and then the egg.
- Stuff tomatoes with breadcrumb mixture. Place tomatoes in prepared baking dish in a single layer.
- Drizzle with remaining 2 tbs of olive oil.
- Bake for 30 minutes until topping is browned and crisp.
- Serve immediately while hot/warm.
HERB STUFFED TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the tomatoes in half, horizontally. Use a small spoon to gently hollow out the inside of the tomatoes, discarding the seeds and reserving the pulp and being careful not to puncture the outer shell. Chop the reserved pulp and put in a medium bowl. Add the parsley, bread crumbs, cheese, and pepper and mix gently to combine. Place the tomato halves in a buttered casserole dish, and fill with the bread crumb mixture. Drizzle the top of the tomatoes with olive oil. Bake until the tops are browned, about 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for stuffing. Look for tomatoes that are evenly colored and free of blemishes.
- Use a variety of herbs for stuffing. Some popular choices include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
- Be careful not to overstuff the tomatoes. You want the stuffing to be able to expand as it cooks.
- Bake the tomatoes in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the stuffing is cooked through.
- Serve the tomatoes immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Herb-stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With their vibrant colors and fresh flavors, herb-stuffed tomatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
