Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
-
Cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds and flesh from the inside, being careful not to puncture the skin. Reserve the tomato flesh for later use.
-
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
-
Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the grains in the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice begins to toast slightly.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth and reserved tomato flesh, along with the dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
-
Once the rice is done, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
-
Stuff the hollowed-out tomatoes with the herbed rice mixture, mounding it slightly at the top. Place the stuffed tomatoes in the prepared baking dish.
-
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the stuffed tomatoes and sprinkle a little extra salt and pepper on top for seasoning.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is heated through.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes if you desire a slightly crispy top.
-
Once done, remove the stuffed tomatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
