Pork Stuffed Tomato

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

2. Cut the tops off the tomatoes and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon, leaving the outer shell intact. Make sure not to puncture the bottom of the tomatoes. Place the hollowed-out tomatoes in the prepared baking dish and set aside.

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Once the pork is no longer pink, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.

5. Spoon the pork mixture into the hollowed-out tomatoes, packing it down gently. Top each tomato with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.

6. Bake the stuffed tomatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes are tender.

7. Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the stuffed tomatoes cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
