Mom's Stuffed Tomatoes

Recipe Ingredients

4		Tomatoes - large
2		Bread slices - whole wheat
8		Anchovies
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Oil from anchovies
1/3 cup	48g / 1.7oz	Parmesan cheese - reserve 2
1		Pepper

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F. Choose large, attractive tomatoes. Scoop out tomato centers carefully, leaving bottoms intact. Set aside inside of tomatoes. Toast bread and cut into 1/2" cubes. Pour oil from anchovies on bread cubes. Mash anchovies or mince into fine pieces.

Mix anchovies, bread cubes and inside of tomatoes. Add parmesan cheese to mixture (this will prevent it from getting too wet inside tomatoes). Spoon mixture into hollowed out tomatoes. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of reserved parmesan on top of tomatoes. Put in 8" square cake pan.

Carefully pour in 1/2 inch water around tomatoes. Bake 30 minutes in a preheated 375F oven. Serves: 4 served this to my future husband when we were both living in a o-op apt downtown. Another neighbor had been bringing him brownies, gave him my stuffed tomatoes.
