Ingredients

5 yellow vine-ripe tomatoes
Salt and pepper
2 jarred pimentos, drained and chopped
1/4 red onion, chopped
1/2 small zucchini, 1/4-inch dice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed in palm of your hand
2 tablespoons, a handful, fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves, your choice, chopped
2 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the bowl

Directions

Cut the tops off 4 tomatoes and trim a thin slice off the bottoms so that they will sit upright easily. Hollow out the tomatoes with a spoon over garbage bowl or sink. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper. Remove stem of remaining tomato. Seed and chop tomato.

In a bowl, combine chopped tomato, pimentos, onions, zucchini, jalapeno, lemon juice, oregano and cilantro or parsley. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the bowl. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the bowl in a slow stream or about 2 tablespoons. Toss mixture to combine and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Fill the empty tomatoes with stuffing and serve.

Very nice!

Things that are stuffed are ALWAYS a favorite for me. If you aren't a fan of tomatoes, this will work great with... red/green/yellow peppers too.Read more

Simply Great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I substituted yellow pepper for the pimento and it was fabulous. So easy and incredibly tasty. I think you could substitute... any raw veggie for another and it would be just as good!Read more

Easy and tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved these. I used red tomatoes as I had them around and I omitted the breadcrumbs. I also cut the olive oil to a dash... and it was wonderful. THe cilantro made it for me! KudosRead more

Great Garden-Fresh Taste
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe is a great side dish with a wonderfully fresh taste. I cooked the stuffing for a few minutes just to soften the... onion and zucchini and to warm the stuffing, an excellent contrast to the cool, ripe tomato. Excellent recipe!Read more
