Ingredients:

6 large ripe tomatoes

1 cup long-grain rice

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2–3 cloves garlic, minced

5 ounces of sharp Feta cheese

1/4–1/3 cup Fondo Gionino extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4–1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped

1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

1–4 tablespoons tomato paste

Sugar, salt, pepper, and oregano

 
Directions:

1. Prepare the tomatoes: Slice off the tops and carefully scoop out the pulp, reserving it for the filling or sauce. Avoid piercing the tomato skin. Lightly add salt and sugar to the inside and turn them upside down to drain.

2. Cook the filling: Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add rice, tomato pulp, tomato paste, herbs. Simmer briefly until the rice is partially cooked. Remove from heat and the Feta.

3. Stuff the tomatoes: Fill each tomato about 3/4 full with the rice mixture. Replace the tops.

4. Arrange in baking dish: Place tomatoes upright in a dish. Pour a little water into the dish and drizzle with olive oil.

5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 350–375°F (175–190°C) for 30–45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 30–60 minutes until tomatoes are tender and rice is fully cooked. Adjust water as needed during baking.

6. Rest: Let them rest about 15–20 minutes before serving

Buon appetito!
