Steps:
- Cut the top quarter off of each of the tomatoes and reserve for later. Scoop out the pulp from the insides of the tomatoes and add to a blender. Sprinkle the tomato shells with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Season the pulp with the basil, broth, oregano, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Blend on high speed until smooth, then pour the puree into a medium bowl. (You should have about 2 1/4 cups.) Add the tomato puree to the pulp puree and stir to combine. (It should yield 2 3/4 cups. If it doesn't, add more puree.) Stir in the rice.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spread the potatoes on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss well to combine. Nestle the tomatoes into the diced potatoes. Fill each tomato almost all the way to the top with the rice filling. Place the tops back on the tomatoes. Pour any remaining filling around the tomatoes and over the potatoes. Drizzle the whole dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and bake until the tomatoes are blistered on the outside and the rice is cooked through, 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Serve with a grating of Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:
- Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
- Cut the tops off of each tomato and scoop out the inside flesh into a bowl. Set aside the tomato shells. Roughly chop the inside tomato flesh or break it up with your hands, yielding 1 cup. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place a large saute pan over the direct heat side of the grill and add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until it begins to brown, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, onions, lemon zest, another drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Give it a stir and cook until fragrant and the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Then stir in the reserved tomato insides. Cook for about 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pan for any brown bits. Add the mint and parsley. Give it one more stir and remove from the heat. Add the rice, pine nuts and goat cheese.

STUFFED GREEN TOMATOES
Steps:
- Start by taking your tomatoes and laying them on there sides. Cut off the tops like a lid (save the top of the tomatoes leave stems on). Grab a spoon and take all the insides out the tomatoes. Turn your fire on low with a deep frying pot and adding the vegetable oil midway of the deep fryer.
- Grab the 5 packs of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and put them in a mixing bowl (the cheese should be room temperature). Start mixing the cheese until smooth and thick. Add the jalapeno juice, stir, then add the bacon bits and stir. This will be the creamy stuffing of the tomatoes. Now take your cornmeal and put it in a big Ziploc bag. Add pepper and salt if you want. To this add the flour and shake. Add 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil. Butter the outsides of the tomatoes and shake them in your corn meal solution.
- Fry the tomatoes two at a time for 3-5 minutes until crust is golden brown. Once you are done, take the fried tomatoes and put the creamy stuffing inside the tomatoes (as much as you would like) and put the lids back on that had been cut off earlier. Take three toothpicks and put them on three different sides of the tomatoes. (Stick the toothpicks trough the lids so they stick out the sides of the tomatoes) Remember this action is optional. Now that you have 6 servings of Stuffed Green Tomatoes, dig in!

GREEK STUFFED TOMATOES AND PEPPERS (YEMISTA)
