Much tastier than I thought - the filling was delicious. Definitely include the suggested herbs. I took out most of the seeds and mushier parts of the tomato pulp as they would have made the filling runny. I'd suggest adding a little salt to the inside of the tomato shell before filling it as it is otherwise unseasoned. Went well with salmon and couscous.09/09/09

As a working Mom I love this dish. Very easy but full of flavor. Great as a side dish to steak or salmon.02/09/06
