Delicious

Time: 1 1/2 hours          Temperature: 150-180 C (310-360 F)
Ingredients: tomatoes, garlic, onion, parsley, day-old bread, ground beef, ground pork, eggs
You need a blender and glass bread pan.

One of the many dishes I had the joy of eating while in the country visiting Mami (Anais' grandmother) was stuffed tomatoes. What she did to make them is:

take ripe tomatoes and cut the tops off like a hat. save these tops for later. bore a hole into each tomato removing the heart and pulp. you can put these in a separate bowl where you mix them with the other ingredients, which are:

garlic, onion, parsley, bread (preferably day-old bread). if you go to a bakery at the end of the day, ask if they're throwing any out... maybe you'll get it for free. but you want the bread to be firm, closer to croutons, although not that crunchy. take raw ground beef and, if you can find it, a kind of ground pork, although i'm not sure what you would call this or if it can be found easily in the states. after hard-boiling an egg or two, add it to the mixture and put it all in the blender.

after it's all blended together, stuff the tomatoes and replace the caps. you can add a little butter before replacing the caps, but it's preference, not necessary.

so! your oven's been heating up to a warm 150-180 degrees and it's ready to cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

when it's finished, serve it up! bon appetite!
