Vegetarian Stuffed Tomatoes with Rice

Vegetarian stuffed tomatoes

Vegetarian stuffed tomatoes are a healthy side or main dish for dinner. Tomatoes are stuffed with a spiced rice mixture and then baked. For a more filling meal, you could also add a bit of fried tofu to the rice mixture. This recipe would also work well for making stuffed bell peppers instead of stuffed tomatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large firm tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 2 cups pre-cooked rice
  • 1/3 tsp allspice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut 1/2 inch off tops of tomatoes. Use a small knife or a melon baller to gently scoop out the insides of the tomatoes, being careful not to cut through the bottoms.

Sautee the onions for a few minutes in olive oil, until soft.

In a large bowl, combine the rice with the remaining ingredients, then combine the sauteed onions as well.

Using a small spoon, scoop the rice mixture and stuff each tomato. Gently pack in the rice, so the whole tomato is full.

Lightly brush the tomatoes with a bit olive oil and place in a baking dish.

Bake for 25 minutes.
