Vegetarian Stuffed Tomatoes

Saturday January 3, 2009
Try some of these healthy and low-fat recipes for vegetarian stuffed tomatoes. Never tried stuffing a tomato before? Watch this video to see how it's done. No matter which recipe you try, you can always sneak a bit of mozzarella or parmesan cheese into the stuffing or sprinkle a bit on top if you're cooking for kids. For vegans, a little nutritional yeast and garlic salt will enhance the flavor quite well. You could also try using these recipes to make stuffed bell peppers instead of tomatoes, though you may need to increase the quantity of the stuffing in order to fill the peppers. Another quick tip: if you can't get your stuffed tomatoes to stand up in the baking pan, try placing them in a lightly greased muffin tin.
