Pine Nut & Basil Stuffed Tomatoes
There's nothing rotten about these stuffed tomatoes. Brown rice, pine nuts and fresh basil round out this dish that'll have you seeing red... in a really good way.
Ingredients
For 10 people
- 1 cup(s) pine nuts
- 1 3/4 cup(s) fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup(s) extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cup(s) brown rice, cooked
- 10 medium organic tomatoes
- 1 dash(es) Salt
- 1 dash(es) Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Prepare rice and set aside. Toast pine nuts, dry, in a pan over medium heat, shaking the pan gently as they brown. The natural oil content in the nuts will make toasting a quick process (about 3 minutes). Toss the pine nuts, basil, and olive oil with the brown rice. Add salt and pepper to the mixture (to taste). Cut off and discard the tops of the tomatoes and remove the tomato pulp and seeds. Fill each tomato with the rice mixture. Serve warm or chilled.
