Children aged 5-9 will love helping you prepare this lunch dish, almost as much as they'll enjoy eating them

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use firm, ripe tomatoes with a deep red color. Roma or plum tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and a more meaty texture.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley add a burst of flavor to the stuffing. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use less since they have a more concentrated flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: The tomatoes should be slightly firm in the center when they are done cooking. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Snappy stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. You can adjust the filling to your liking, and they are also a great way to use up leftover rice. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give snappy stuffed tomatoes a try.
