Stuffed tomatoes
Ingredients
For six stuffed tomatoes:
- 6 medium sized tomatoes
- 250 grams of minced beef
- 2 eggs
- 30 grams of bread crumbs
- 1 spring onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- Salt
- Black pepper
Recipe
Start by opening and emptying the tomatoes. Hold a small knife at a 45° angle, and cut a crown in the top of the tomato.
Once the cap of the tomato comes off, empty the contents of the tomato in a bowl with a tea spoon. Keep the tomato juice as you empty them, as we will need it later on.
When your tomato is empty, add a pinch of salt inside and let them rest upside down.
To make the stuffing, mix together:
- 250 grams of minced beef
- Two eggs
- 30 grams of bread crumbs
- One spring onion, chopped
- One clove of garlic, minced
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of coarse black pepper
Keep mixing until the stuffing is homogeneous.
Fill the tomatoes with the stuffing using a teaspoon. A couple of teaspoons of stuffing should fit in each tomato. Replace the cap on top of the stuffing, closing the tomato again.
Place the tomatoes in an oven proof dish, and bake at 200℃ for 40 minutes.
Serve the tomatoes hot. Two to three per person should be enough for a meal. Rice-based sides are great along with stuffed tomatoes.
