Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 15 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Peel 12 tomatoes, then cut out and discard the hard stalk end.

Stage 2 - 1 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally.

Stage 3 - 3 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Sprinkle the tops with fine salt, then turn upside down and stand on a wire rack. Salt the bottoms and leave to drain for a good half hour.

Stage 4 - 5 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Prepare the stuffing by blending together ½ cup parsley (leaves only), 3 cloves garlic (peeled), 3 tablespoons herbes de Provence, 23 cup breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.

This will give you a nice green crumbly mixture or thick paste.

Set aside.

Stage 5 - 3 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Butter a gratin dish and spread the 10 cups cooked rice evenly in the bottom.

Pour 12 tablespoons olive oil over to stop it drying out too much in the oven.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Pour 6 tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan on high heat. When good and hot, add the tomato halves, cut side downwards.

Fry for 2 or 3 minutes on this side.

Stage 7 - 3 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Turn the tomatoes and fry for a further 2 or 3 minutes.

Stage 8 - 2 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Sit the tomatoes on the rice.

Stage 9 - 4 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Top each tomato with a generous layer of the stuffing mixture, then trickle a little olive oil over.

Stage 10 - 30 min.
Tomatoes Provençal
Bake for about 30 minutes.

Stage 11
Tomatoes Provençal
Serve 2 tomato halves per person on a bed of rice.
Remarks
In stage 5, it works well if you use meat juices or a little stock in place of the olive oil.
Keeping
Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
