Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).

  4. Heat unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add diced onion and minced garlic clove to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  6. Add ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon.
  7. Remove skillet from heat and stir in soaked bread crumbs, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and ground black pepper.
  8. Mix well and add half of the grated Gruyere cheese to the filling mixture.
  9. Stuff the hollowed tomato with the pork mixture and place the tomato in a small baking dish.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining grated Gruyere cheese on top of the stuffed tomato.
  11. Place the tomato lid on top and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the tomato is tender and cheese is golden.
  12. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Use ripe but firm tomatoes to hold the stuffing well.
  • Do not overfill the tomato to avoid spilling during baking.
  • Let the dish rest after baking to enhance flavors and ease serving.
