Orzo-And Feta-Stuffed Tomatoes image

This makes a nice Mediterranean-style side dish for a roasted chicken or any grilled meat or seafood. It's from a July 1986 issue of Bon Appetit in the "Great Cook" section that featured a menu for a Canoe Party for 24.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tomatoes turned out great! The filling was a bit bland for my taste, so I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a pinch of cayenne pepper. It was perfect.

This is a great recipe for a light and healthy meal. The tomatoes are juicy and flavorful, and the filling is light and fluffy. I served it with a side of tzatziki sauce and it was delicious.
