    Herb Stuffed Tomatoes

    My dish didn't turn out like Pleclare's picture. I need to ask what size tomatoes were used. Because I used standard size tomatoes and there wasn't enough stuffing to mound into the tomato shell like the picture.
    I only cut off the tops of the tomatoes because cutting them in half would overflow the casserole dish size.

    If made again I would back off on the fat content somehow. Four tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter for sauteeing and 2 tbsp oil for drizzle and one tbsp grease for the pan is a half cup of fat. My lips couldn't stay together when pressed after eating a tomato (my test for fat content).

    After all that knit picking, the stuffed tomatoes were very good.

    I was afraid to put to much salt on the tomato shells when draining but as it turned out wound up adding salt to the finished product.

    I used what I considered a standard tomato with no problem. Did not fee fat conten too high but you can back off. Thanks for the review!

    That pictures was my fault! lol!

    I used regular tomatoes, not beefsteak. And I didn't use fresh breadcrumbs...but that would probably give you even less filling. I almost cut them in half, but not quite. Maybe cutting just the tops off gave you too much room inside the tomato. Thats probably why the stuffing didn't fill them enough.

    Only one thread double posted. It's in the "freezing food" group.
    Is the delete feature only good for the group administrator?
