Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 160ºC.
Step 2
Cut a 1cm thick slice off the stem-side of each tomato. Set tops aside. Using a tsp, scoop out tomato pulp including seeds (without damaging skin) into a bowl. Roughly chop pulp. Pat dry tomato cavities with paper towel.
Step 3
To make stuffing, heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until onion is soft. Add rice. Stir to coat in oil and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in tomato pulp and stock. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, over low heat for 25 minutes or until rice is almost tender.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Stir in parsley, dill and feta. Evenly spoon rice mixture into tomatoes. Top with tomato tops.
Step 5
Arrange tomatoes into a greased large baking dish. Spray with olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tomatoes are tender.
Step 6
Serve with rocket leaves and crusty wholegrain bread.
