  • 4 large firm red tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup cooked rice any kind
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh frozen or canned corn kernels
  • 2 teaspoon dried basil oregano or mixed Italian herbs
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the pulp, taking care to keep the tomatoe's shape (save the pulp for another use, like adding to eggs).
  • Drizzle the insides of the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and brown sugar.
  • Mix the rice, green pepper, corn, the dried herbs, and half the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fill the tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle the tomatoes with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
