FRESH STUFFED TOMATOES
Tomatoes, feta cheese, fresh spinach, fresh herbs and parmesan, mixed with a fresh lime/oil dressing make these stuffed tomatoes a really good summer snack or side dish. Sometimes we make it a meal with fresh baked baguettes and herbed butter.

Steps:
- Chop the insides of the tomatoes and put them in a bowl (I leave the seeds out as best I can).
- Destem the spinach and chop finely, add to the bowl. Do NOT use frozen spinach for this, if you can't get fresh, use rucola lettuce, or mangold or something else.
- Add the bell pepper, feta, herbs, and jalapeno, mix well.
- As for the herbs, use whatever is fresh in your garden, be creative!
- Add lime juice, and oil, stir well and add salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture, and top with parmesan cheese.
- Leave in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving.
FRESH HERB STUFFED TOMATOES
Found this recipe in AllYou Magazine Sept 2008. Really can't mess this recipe up. I love using Campenelle tomatoes but if they are not available try finding Tomatillo tomatoes. Both of these are sturdy tomatoes that hold up well to stuffing/fillings and give you a good 2-3 bite appetizer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a 9x13" baking dish.
- Cut tops off tomatoes and spoon out the flesh. Place flesh in a sieve and press down lightly to retain juices (you will need 1/4 cup of juice total). Blot insides of tomatoes with a towel to remove excess juices. Season insides with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter with 2 tbs of the olive oil in a skillet over LOW heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in bread crumbs, herbs and Parmesan. Stir in reserved 1/4 cup tomato juices and then the egg.
- Stuff tomatoes with breadcrumb mixture. Place tomatoes in prepared baking dish in a single layer.
- Drizzle with remaining 2 tbs of olive oil.
- Bake for 30 minutes until topping is browned and crisp.
- Serve immediately while hot/warm.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are brightly colored and free of blemishes. Avoid tomatoes that are soft or bruised.
- Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings to find your favorites. Some popular options include rice, meat, vegetables, and cheese.
- Be creative with your presentation: Once your tomatoes are stuffed, you can arrange them in a baking dish or on a serving platter. You can also garnish them with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve warm or cold: Stuffed tomatoes can be served warm or cold. If you're serving them warm, bake them until the filling is heated through. If you're serving them cold, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
