Beef Tomatoes Stuffed With Tabbouleh
You can use fresh peppers instead of beef tomatoes. Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membrane. Put the peppers in a micro-safe dish, cut side down, and add 2cm of water. Cover and cook on high for 4 minutes. Remove from the water and allow to cool on kitchen paper before filling with tabbouleh.
