Ingredients
- (serves 6)
- 8 medium tomatos, firm
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 heaped tablespoons plain bread crumbs
- 4 tbsps freshly chopped parsley, or 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 2-3 minced anchovies (oil-packed or salt-packed and rinsed)(optional)
- salt to taste (1/2 teaspoon or less)
- black pepper
- pine nuts to decorate
Directions
Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally, scoop out the seeds and pulp, sprinkle the inside with salt and drain for 30+ mins. Save the pulp.
In a bowl, mix the plain breadcrumbs, with the parsley (or oregano), olive oil, minced anchovies, salt and pepper to taste, and enough of the pulp that you saved to make a smooth and moist filling (it should be about as firm as ground meat).
Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture and bake for 40 minutes in a 400 F oven.

My family loves stuffed tomatoes. My recipe is similar; sometimes I add cheese. Wonderful, versatile recipe.
