Ingredients:
8 medium-size firm ripe tomatoes
1 cup of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/3 cup of chopped green onions
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (I used 1/4 Tablespoon of powder)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/4 cup of olive oil
Cut a 1/4 thick slice from the top of each tomato. Scoop out the pulp into a bowl, leaving the shells intact. Circle a knife around the inside of the shell to loosen the pulp, then use a spoon to scoop it out. Place shells upside down on paper towels to drain. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
... so to make it easier to mix the pulp with the other ingredients, chop each piece.
Return the pulp to the bowl and add the next 7 ingredients, stirring well.
Spoon the mixture into the tomato shells, and place them in a lightly greased 13 X 9 baking dish. Bake for 10-13 minutes.
My mouth is watering

Since we are in this Covid 19 mess, I wonder if I could use a box of stuffing mix for the dry ingredients? I have a few of those in my pantry.
ReplyDeleteI think that sounds like it would work. Probably a great substitute!
