I baked at 425 degrees for 25 minutes, I did not scoop out the ribs inside the tomatoes very good so was unable to get in the rice amount-and maybe my tomatoes should have been bigger. Like your suggestion about using foil to keep the tomatoe upright. Nice use of pesto. -
These are very big on flavor. I had them for breakfast today and I will be having them again tomorrow and maybe even again the day after that. I used brown tomatoes as that is what I had on hand. Very pleased with this simple recipe. Thanks for sharing :) -
Great breakfast thanks Mandy I made 2 one for me and one for the DM, as I used some left over fried rice I did not add the pesto but look forward to using it another time. Made for 123 Hits.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
