Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Mix the rice with 2 tbsp of the pesto. Cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the insides. Fill the empty shells with the rice mixture, pressing it down lightly, then replace the lids.

  • step 2

    Cut the courgettes into rounds and toss with the remaining pesto and the oil. Spread over a roasting tin and nestle the tomatoes among them. Bake for 20-25 mins until the tomatoes and courgettes are tender.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE SOME JUICE

Don’t waste the pulp you remove from the tomatoes. Whizz in a food processor, then press through a sieve. Season with a little salt and pepper and pour into a glass with plenty of ice, with or without a slug of vodka.

Pesto is made of parmesan cheese: Parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano is an EU Protected Designation of Origin product and has to be made using calf rennet, so itâs definitely NOT suitable for vegetarians.

As I can normally follow your recipes to the letter, was a bit disappointed with the outcome of this dish. Rice was hard, I didn't precook it before mixing with pesto, as this was not suggested. maybe I should have assumed it should have been pre-cooked. Next time I will pre- cook rice before…

I love this recipe, it is so simple yet delicious. I usually only make the stuffed tomatoes though, not the courgettes, and make it as a side dish. I tend to use Uncle Ben's tomato and basil rice and sacla organic tomato pesto.
