When you eat the result, you’ll consider it time well spent.The Meat Free Monday Cookbook edited by Annie Rigg © 2016 Kyle Books, and the photographs © Tara Fisher.

Ingredients
  • 8 large ripe tomatoes or 4 beef tomatoes
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cup white breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
  • 1/2 cup organic milk
  • 2 organic eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoon freshly chopped basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon toasted breadcrumbs
  • grated gruyère
  • 5-6 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Remove a slice from the top of each tomato and scoop out the pulp. Season the insides of the tomatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper and arrange in a greased baking dish.
  3. To make the stuffing, combine the white breadcrumbs with the milk and eggs in a bowl, and add the garlic, herbs, and onion. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fill the insides of the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs and Gruyère, and drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent burning.
  4. Bake until the tomatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
