Today I decided to go with one of the most popular and better summer veggies. Tomatoes, one of my favourite and of course Italy’s most famous.

I have to say this is one of my favourite summer dishes,  Baked Stuffed Tomatoes.

Italian Baked Stuffed Tomatoes with Rice, a healthy vegan/vegetarian dish. The perfect baked dinner recipe, with a delicious rice stuffing.

The first time I tasted this dish was at a friend’s family get together. Could her Mom cook! it didn’t matter if there were 5 or 50 people for a meal it was all the same to her.

From the anti-pasto to primo piatto to dessert, she had it all covered. After my first taste this dish became one of my favourites.

With summer coming to an end, and with the over abundance of tomatoes, this is the perfect healthy veggie lunch or dinner dish. It’s so easy!

While your rice is soaking in water for an hour, you can get your tomatoes ready and nothing better than serving these Italian Baked Stuffed Tomatoes with Rice with some Roasted Potatoes with rosemary.

This is one of those terrific Italian recipes where you can make it as spicy or simple as you like. My daughters like the rice simple with oregano and basil, my husband likes it a little spicier topped with onion and I like it, yup you got it, with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese tossed in.

Anyway you serve Baked Stuffed Tomatoes, it is the perfect way to end the summer. Buon Appetito!
