7 tantalizing ways to stuff tomatoes
Meat-stuffed tomatoes
Easy to make and especially filling, meat-stuffed tomatoes are a delightful summer treat. Combine 2/3 lb ground beef with 2/3 lb sausage meat, add 3 crushed garlic cloves, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt and the tomato flesh (lightly blended). Fill the tomatoes with the mixture, replace the tops and bake for 40 minutes at 350° F. Serve the tomatoes with white rice. Little tip: You can also cook the rice by adding it to the baking dish with a little broth before placing the stuffed tomatoes on top.
