STUFFED BAKED TOMATOES
Made this up years ago, using up some tomatoes we had grown. I used rice in the original recipe, but now I substitute Quinoa for the rice. You can use rice, just be sure it is an equal amount of precooked rice. I also use fresh basil now, but originally used dried. You can also do this in smaller tomatoes, to use as appetizers.

Steps:
- 1. Cut the stem ends out of the tomatoes and scoop out the pulp, leaving about a 1/2" shell. Remove seeds from the pulp, but save and chop any usable pulp.
- 2. Mix together the cooked quinoa, tomato pulp, garlic, onion, ricotta cheese, parmesan, basil, Italian seasoning, and a little salt and pepper to taste. Stuff this mixture into the tomato shells. This mixture should fill at least 4 tomatoes, but depending on the size of your tomatoes you may need to adjust the amount you put inside each one.
- 3. Arrange the tomatoes in a baking dish with sides touching, as it helps them stand upright. Another trick to getting them to stand upright is to nestle each tomato inside a half-inch ring of sliced onion or green pepper. It also makes the dish pretty.
- 4. Bake at 350° about 30 minutes, until tomatoes are soft and well done. You may top each tomato with a little alfredo sauce during the last 5 minutes of baking if you like, or you may pour the heated sauce over them after the tomatoes are on the serving plate.
