The humble and healthy tomato comes into its own in the summer,
and with so many varieties to choose from, Erica Ryan has been having a tomato-tastic time.

4 people 40 minutes 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 clove Garlic finely chopped
  • 1 pinch Ground Cumin
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 - Onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 1 - Red Chilli deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 6 - Tomatoes
  • 400 g Turkey Breast Mince

To garnish:

  • 1 bunch Fresh Parsley Leaves chopped

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Cut the tops off the tomatoes. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the inside of the
tomatoes. Place the hollow tomatoes in a small oven dish or on a roasting tray. Chop the pulp and set aside.

2. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and chilli and fry for a couple minutes, until transparent. Add the turkey mince and fry for 3 to 5 minutes, until all the pink is gone and any liquid has evaporated. Add the tomato purée, spices and reserved tomato pulp along with some salt and pepper and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon the mixture into the tomatoes, then top with the lids.

3. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until everything is heated through. Garnish with a little chopped fresh parsley and serve with a salad for lunch or with a baked potato for a more substantial supper.

KITCHEN TIP:
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a thin sliver off the base of the tomatoes to help them sit flat in the dish. Be careful not to
cut through the base, though.
