Time: ?
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- Preheat oven to 400
- cut tomatoes in half across their equator and core stem. Push out all the flesh and seeds with your fingers, leaving cavities intact. Salt tomatoes and let drain upside down on a drying rack for 20 minutes
- Combine in small bowl:
- 3 tbs minced garlic
- 4 tbs minced shallots
- 1/2 cup minced fresh basil
- 2 tsp fresh or 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- season inside of tomatoes with pepper and fill with stuffing. Sprinkle oil on top. Arrange tightly in baking dish. At this point you can refrigerate until ready to finish.
- bake until tomatoes are tender but not collapsing, 10-15 minutes, filling should be lightly browned. I like to brown under the broiler quickly.
