Pomodori Ripieni (Stuffed Tomatoes - Roman Style)

Servings 2
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 110 g rice I used the Carnaroli variety, the one you would use for risotto
  • 1 garlic
  • 1/4 onion
  • handful of grated Pecorino cheese
  • 4 beef tomatoes or large tomatoes with tougher skin
  • 1 tsp oregano fresh basil is also great!
  • 1 large potato

Instructions
 

  • Cut the top of the tomatoes off and keep it on the side for now.
  • With a spoon, scoop out the pulp from all the tomatoes and pour the liquid and pulp in a bowl (we are going to use it for the next step). Clean all around the inside of the tomatoes so you remain with a tomato “cup”.
  • To the bowl with the tomato sauce add: garlic, onion and salt.
  • Blitz with a hand blender until completely smooth and liquid.
  • Add the rice, origano, oil, cheese and mix well.
  • Taste test at this point and adjust salt to taste. (It’s so delicious you’ll want to drink this sauce!).
  • Fill up the tomatoes with the rice. The filling should be enough to fill up all the tomatoes.
  • If they are not full add some extra water, if you have some leftover rice spread it out on the tray.
  • Bake for 1h 20mins at 180C. Add the potatoes after 10 mins.
