Category: Recipes

4 medium firm, ripe, tomatoes
1/2 cup Italian parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
2 tbsps. olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove the tops of the tomatoes, and scoop out seeds and pulp with a small spoon, cut off a slice from the bottom to prevent rolling and arrange tomatoes in a baking dish.

In a small bowl combine the parsley, basil, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and spoon 2 tablespoons into each tomato. Drizzle with olive oil. Top each tomato with 1 tablespoon cheese.

Bake 20 minutes, or until soft. Serve at room temperature.
