Tomatoes, feta cheese, fresh spinach, fresh herbs and parmesan, mixed with a fresh lime/oil dressing make these stuffed tomatoes a really good summer snack or side dish. Sometimes we make it a meal with fresh baked baguettes and herbed butter.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large tomatoes, tops cut off, and hollowed out, insides reserved
20 fresh spinach leaves, stemmed and finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (marinated is good)
1 jalapeno, seeded stemmed, and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh basil
1 bunch fresh chives
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 lime, juice of
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
4 ounces fresh grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Chop the insides of the tomatoes and put them in a bowl (I leave the seeds out as best I can).
  • Destem the spinach and chop finely, add to the bowl. Do NOT use frozen spinach for this, if you can't get fresh, use rucola lettuce, or mangold or something else.
  • Add the bell pepper, feta, herbs, and jalapeno, mix well.
  • As for the herbs, use whatever is fresh in your garden, be creative!
  • Add lime juice, and oil, stir well and add salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture, and top with parmesan cheese.
  • Leave in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving.
