What? You’re weary of tomato sandwiches and tomato salads and ……
Ok. Try this recipe from Prevention magazine’s “The Healthy Cook.”
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh whole-wheat bread crumbs 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 medium tomatoes 2 cups hot cooked white rice
Preparation:
In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, basil, parsley and pepper. Mix well. Add the oil and stir until well-combined.
Slice the tomatoes in half crosswise and squeeze gently to remove the seeds. Place 2 tablespoons of the bread-crumb stuffing into each tomato, mounding slightly. Place on a broiling pan or a no-stick baking sheet coated with no-stick spray. Broil 4″ from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve with the rice.
