in Recipes, Dinner, Meal Stuffed tomatoes with salsa verde
Rustic, delicious and beautiful. Ripe and low carb. You can fill these robust juicy tomatoes with basically anything, depending on what you're in the mood for. We went for a ground chicken and parmesan-cheese filling and whipped up a classic salsa verde that adds additional flavor and certainly brightens up the color palette on your plate.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)
- Mix ingredients for the salsa verde with a hand mixer or in a blender. Let it rest at room temperature.
- Cut off the top of the tomatoes and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Reserve both the tops and insides. Place the hollowed-out tomatoes in a baking dish.
- Finely chop the tomato insides, onion, and garlic. Sauté in olive oil for a few minutes on medium heat, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Salt and pepper.
- Combine ground chicken, shredded parmesan, egg, tomato paste, and oregano in a bowl. Add the tomato and onion mixture. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill the tomatoes and return the tops. Bake for 30-40 minutes in the oven, depending on size. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Tomatoes contain a lot of water and they can get really hot!
- Serve with salsa verde, freshly cooked wax beans, and olive oil.
Tips
Salsa verde tastes best at room temperature. If you have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for four to five days or in the freezer for up to one month.
