PROVENCAL TOMATOES

Provencal tomatoes make a stunning first course and an accompaniment for both meat and fish dishes and even pasta! They can make a main course, too!

INGREDIENTS
4 tomatoes
8 slices sandwich bread without crust
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
Olive oil
Basil
Parsley
Spearmint, if wanted
Salt
Pepper
Thyme

PREPARATION
Sauté the onion and the garlic with plenty of olive oil in a frying pan.

Put the bread into a food processor.

When shattered, put it in the frying pan.

Add the parsley, the spearmint, the thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil.

Stir continuously until golden brown.

Wash the tomatoes very well, cut them into 2 pieces and scoop out the inner part. 

Spoon the filling into the hollow that is left.

Fill the tomatoes with the mixture.

Preheat the oven to 180oC and bake about 15-20 min.

If you like, you can add any type of cheese, too.

GOOD LUCK!!!
