tomates farcies

Tomates Farcies

4 large and firm tomatoes (slightly under ripe, you don't want them to get mushy) *you can also use round zucchinis!
250g ground beef (or 2 steak hachees)
1/2 cup cooked rice, cold if possible
1 small onion finely chopped
1 clove of garlic finely chopped (or garlic powder if you don't have any fresh on hand)
salt and pepper
butter

Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and scoop out the insides so you get as much room as possible. Set aside.

In a small bowl mix the rest of the ingredients (I use my hands to make sure they're well mixed). Split the mixture into 4 equal parts and stuff it inside the tomatoes. Put the "hat" back on and put a small nob of butter over the stem of each tomato to prevent them from burning (you can also add some bread crumbs but as I didn't have any gluten free on hand I left that out.)

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
