Steps:
- Slice the tops off the tomatoes and set aside. Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the tomatoes with a teaspoon, but be careful not to cut through to the base. Chop the pulp and keep the seeds, but discard the hard, central cores.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and tip in the rice. Fry gently over a low heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to stop the rice from browning, then add the spring onions, courgette and mushrooms and fry gently for 2 more minutes.
- Preheat the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Pour in the stock then stir in the dried herbs, tomato pulp and seeds - the seeds will add fibre, and won't be noticeable in the finished dish. Cook gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed - add extra stock or water if necessary. Turn off the heat, tear the basil leaves into the pan and scatter with Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and stir well.
- Put the tomatoes in an ovenproof dish and fill each one generously with the risotto. Replace tomato tops and bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes are tender. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve with a few rocket leaves on top.

CHERRY TOMATOES STUFFED WITH PESTO
When I lived in Provence, I followed the local custom of setting a couple of pots of basil by my kitchen door to keep the flies away. I'm not sure why it works, but the essential oils in basil - which make this herb so heavenly, although apparently not to flies - have been shown to have anti-bacterial properties. A few studies have shown that the oils can inhibit some pathogenic bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics. Basil also contains flavonoids that are believed to have some antioxidant properties; it's an excellent source of vitamin K, and a very good source of iron, calcium and vitamin A. I've been serving these appetizers for decades. You can also make a warm side dish with medium-size tomatoes (see variation below).

Steps:
- To make the pesto, turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic. When it is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add the basil, pumpkin seeds or pine nuts, salt, pepper and olive oil to the food processor, and process until smooth and creamy. Add the Parmesan, and pulse until well combined. You can also use a mortar and pestle. Add the basil leaves gradually, and mash with the pestle. Add the pumpkin seeds or pine nuts, garlic, salt and pepper. Mash to a paste with the basil. Work in the olive oil and the Parmesan.
- Using a paring knife, cut thin slices from the tops of the cherry tomatoes. Use a grapefruit spoon or small spoon to scoop the seeds and flesh from the center of each tomato. Lightly salt the hollowed out tomatoes if desired, and place them, cut side down, on a rack to drain for 15 minutes. Fill with the pesto, arrange on a platter and serve. Refrigerate or freeze any excess pesto.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Hollow the tomatoes with a spoon and reserve the seeded pulp. Dice the cut off bottoms and seeded pulp into 1/4-inch pieces. Heat the olive oil over very high heat in a large pan. Stir-fry the eggplant, red pepper, zucchini and onion in the olive oil until the pieces are almost cooked through and the edges are caramelized.
- Cook the 2 cups rice until al dente, using a little less water by volume. In a large bowl combine the rice with the vegetables and tomato. Add the black olives, the vinaigrette and pine nuts. Mix well. Let stand for 1 hour or overnight if possible, in the refrigerator.
- Set the tomatoes on their dimples on a baking sheet. Stuff and mound with the vegetable rice mixture. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. for 4 minutes to cook the tomato until heated through and serve.
- Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl to emulsify.
RISOTTO AND PESTO STUFFED TOMATOES
These are packed full of flavor and even my non-vegetarian boyfriend thinks these make a tasty entree. It takes awhile, but is so worth it. The original recipe calls for plain risotto rice, but I like to replace that with a package of portabello flavored risotto. If using flavored, be careful not to oversalt.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in white wine. Cook, stirring frequently, until wine is absorbed.
- Add 1/2 cup broth, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Working in batches, continue adding 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring until all broth is absorbed. When done, rice should be tender and creamy. (Step 2 should take 20 to 25 minutes total.)
- Stir Parmesan cheese, pesto, 1/4 cup parsley, and 1 tablespoon vinegar into the risotto. Keep warm.
- Combine beans, tomatoes, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook, covered, over medium heat, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, bring 4 cups water and the remaining vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer (bubbles should begin to break the surface of the water). Break an egg into a custard cup. Hold the lip of the cup close to water and slip egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Simmer, uncovered, 3 to 5 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Use a slotted spoon to remove from skillet.
- Serve risotto topped with tomato-bean mixture, poached eggs, and remaining parsley. Sprinkle with pepper.

PESTO STUFFED TOMATOES
A simple yet effective side dish that covers vegetables, carbohydrates and dairy in one dish. Plus it tastes superb! British tomatoes are fairly small but I've designed the filling to fit medium to large tomatoes, but not as large as beef tomatoes. Adjust the amount of filling depending on the size of tomato you have (any leftover filling makes a yummy snack!)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (the lower temperature helps to stop the tomatoes from splitting).
- Cook the rice in the hot water, simmering over a low heat in a covered pan for around 20 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed.
- Meanwhile, slice the tops off the tomatoes, just enough to reveal the seeds. Also cut a fine slice from the bottom of each tomato, so they can stand up straight but not enough to leave a hole.
- Scoop the core and seeds out of each tomato to leave a shell, being careful to leave the base of the tomato intact.
- When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the heat.
- Add the pesto sauce, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of the grated mozzarella cheese. Stir to mix well.
- Spoon the mixture carefully into each tomato shell, until level with the top of the tomato, pressing down with the spoon so the filling is firmly packed in.
- Place the other 1/8 cup of grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the filled tomatoes.
- Bake on a baking tray lined with foil for around 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened and the mozzarella is just turning golden.
- Enjoy!
