Baked Tomatoes Stuffed with Rice

I know I’ve already mentioned a million times how my kitchen is full of zucchini, but I have news that I would like to share with all of you, are you ready?

Well (drum roll) zucchini can now take a back seat because tomatoes just took over! And to tell the truth I prefer the tomatoes.

Probably because I LOVE pasta and for me there is nothing better than a delicious tomato sauce covering any kind of pasta, short, long, whatever, anything goes and who doesn’t love a Tasty Fresh Tomato Recipe?

Tomatoes Stuffed with Rice

Fortunately tomatoes also go wonderful with rice and this tomato stuffed with rice dish is one of my favourites.

I first tasted this dish about 20 years ago. Maria, my friend’s mother had a summer party and this among many dishes was the one I remember the most.

And baking the tomatoes with some cut up potatoes makes this the perfect Summer Dinner idea.

For this recipe you don’t use just any tomato you need nice large, round,  firm tomatoes that will hold the rice and  stay firm (more or less) during the cooking time.

The Italian who is not much of a rice lover has to admit that this is one tasty dish.

So if you are looking for something different to try,  give this tomatoes stuffed with rice a go and then let me know what you think. Buon Appetito!
