Stuffed Tomatoes

It is a rare occasion when I post a side dish recipe on here. It isn't that I don't do sides, but I don't often do a creative side. Usually, it is a mixed salad, rice, potatoes, or a plain steamed veggie. Yesterday, I felt like doing something different and then making a plain protein to accompany the veggie.

These tomatoes were easy so easy to make and tasted great with steaks that the husband picked up during my Lauren Day. Lauren Day was spent in a great spinning class followed by a great yoga class and a nice slow walk from the gym to the bus while enjoying the nice weather. It was a wonderful day off from work.

4 ripe tomatoes
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped, pitted Kalamata olives
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh basil

  1. Pre-heat broiler.
  2. Cut tops of tomatoes. Scoop out pulp and set aside in a small bowl. Finely chop pulp and combine with olives, cheese, parsley, and basil.
  3. Scoop mixture back into tomatoes and place on broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
  4. Broil for 2-3 minutes.
