Ingredients
- 8 medium ripe round tomatoes
- 4 tablespoonfuls of parboiled rice
- 10 basil leaves
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Olive oil, salt, pepper to taste
- Half teaspoonful of sugar
Instructions
- Cut off the top fifth of the tomatoes, so that you have a cap. Set aside the caps.

- Fill the tomatoes up to a little over halfway up. Replace the caps and brush with a little oil and the sugar.
- Place in a baking dish which has a little oil in it and bake for 20-30 minutes at 160 Celsius/ 320 F.
Notes
You can only use parboiled rice in this recipe since the grains stay separate. Non parboiled rice will turn into a sticky blob!
