This dish can be served warm or cold and it will serve as an antipasto or as a vegetable side dish Ingredients:
8 round, large tomatoes |
1/2 cup rice |
1 clove garlic |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmigiano |
salt & pepper to taste |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
freshly shredded basil |
Directions:
1. Wash and dry the tomatoes, then cut around their caps and scoop out the pulp with a spoon, being careful not to puncture the tomatoes. Do the scooping over a bowl so as to catch all the liquid that drips from the tomatoes as well, and when you are done blend the pulp and juice. Then combine the blended tomato pulp with the remaining ingredients except the wine. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
2. Stuff the tomatoes with the filling without tamping down too hard, replace the caps, and put them in a lightly oiled oven proof dish. Pour the wine into the dish and bake the tomatoes until done, about 45 minutes. Serve either hot or cool.
