Tomatoes A La Provencal
(Tomatoes Baked with Bread Crumbs and Garlic)
6 firm ripe tomatoes
Salt
1 c. dry white bread crumbs, not too fine in texture
1/2 c. finely chopped fresh parsley
1 T. finely cut fresh basil or 2 tsp. dried basil, crumbled
1 lg. clove garlic, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 to 1/2 c. olive oil
Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. With a finger or handle of a teaspoon, scoop out the seeds. Sprinkle inside of tomatoes with salt and turn them upside down to drain on paper towels. Preheat oven to 375o. In large mixing bowl, stir together bread crumbs, parsley, basil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grindings of pepper. Add enough olive oil to moisten the stuffing, but still leave it crumbly. Fill each half with about 2 tablespoons of crumb mixture, patting it in and letting it mound a little in the middle. Arrange tomato halves in one or two lightly oiled baking dishes; do not crowd them. Sprinkle a few drops of oil over each. Bake in upper third of oven 20 to 30 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender but not limp. With a wide metal spatula, transfer them to a heated platter and serve hot. Or chill and serve them cold, sprinkled with chopped parsley. Serves 6.
