This is a popular dish in the south of France, especially in the summer. Any type of ground meat can be used, however I find that a mixture of ground pork, beef and veal is great for this recipe. For those who like a little spice, chilli paste can be added to the meat mixture.
-350 grams of ground pork, beef or veal or a mixture of all three.
-6 tomatoes
-2 onions
-Salt & pepper
-Olive oil
-3 garlic cloves
-1/2 cup bread crumbs
-2 eggs
-1/3 cup milk
-6 tsp uncooked rice
Instructions:
-Chop up the onions and mince the garlic. In a frying pan saute the garlic in olive oil until soft. Add onions and saute until soft and golden (approximately 5 minutes).
-In a bowl combine and mix the meat, eggs, bread crumbs, milk and cooked onions. Season well with salt & pepper.
-Cut off the top of the tomato and keep the top as a lid.
-With a knife and spoon carefully cut and scoop out the interior of the tomato.
-Place 1 tsp of uncooked rice in the bottom of each tomato.
-Stuff the rest of the tomato with the meat mixture.
-Spray or sprinkle olive oil on top of each tomato.
-Place the lid on top of the tomato.
-Bake in the oven at 200 degrees C for 1 hour.
-Goes great with a side salad.
-Keep the interior of the tomato and make a tomato sauce.
