Savor garden-fresh herb couscous stuffed tomatoes for a taste of culinary perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 4 large vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 82.50 ml couscous
  • 20.00 ml currants
  • 63.75 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 21.00 gm lemon juice
  • 20.00 ml slivered almonds, toasted
  • 20.00 ml fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 20.00 ml fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • 20.00 ml fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 9.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Slice off the tops of the tomatoes, reserving them. Carefully remove the flesh and seeds with a teaspoon. Place the tomatoes and their tops on a baking tray and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until just tender.
  • Combine couscous and currants in a heatproof bowl. Heat stock and lemon juice in a microwave-safe jug for 30 to 40 seconds until warm. Pour the stock mixture over the couscous. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then add almonds, basil, parsley, chives, oil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Fill the tomato shells with the couscous mixture, put the tops back on, and serve.
