Stuffed Tomatoes With Green Sauce


This recipe can be used as a light luncheon dish, an appetizer before dinner, or as party food when tiny cherry tomatoes are used. The bright contrast between the red tomatoes and green sauce is very pretty too! Use very ripe but firm tomatoes for the best results.

Buon Appetito!
