Ingredients 

  • 3 tomatoes
  • ½ cup arborio rice cooked
  • ½ cup cashews toasted
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ½ cup kalamata olives chopped
  • ½ red onion chopped and sauteed
  • 2 Tbsp basil leaves julienned

Instructions

  • Boil the rice.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Wash and pat dry the tomatoes.
  • Cut off the top of each tomato and scoop out the insides with a spoon, reserving them for the filling.
  • In a bowl, combine the tomato insides, rice, cashews, onion, raisins, olives, and the julienned basil.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix to combine.
  • Fill each tomato with the rice mixture, top with the cut-off lids, place them in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for about 30 minutes, until they start to roast.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Don't discard the scooped-out tomato insides -- chop and stir them back into the filling so none of the flavor is lost. Serve warm or cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
