4 big original tomatoes The Chubby
Stuffing
2 tbsp olive oil
Flesh of 2 to 3 Italian sausages (about 300 gr.)
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup rice, cooked
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
¼ cup fresh herbs, chopped (parsley, thyme, oregano, as desired)
2 tbsp almonds, chopped
2 tbsp blond raisins, chopped
2 to 3 mammoth green olives, chopped
1 tsp capers, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Steps
Preheat the oven to 375°F and place the rack in the centre. Oil a baking sheet and set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat vegetable oil and cook sausage meat with onion and garlic for 10 minutes over medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, cut off the top of the tomatoes to make a small cap, then carefully scoop out the tomatoes with a spoon. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and add the tomato flesh to the onions in the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then stir in remaining stuffing ingredients. Season generously.
Fill each tomato with the stuffing and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
