Pomodori col riso

Pomodori col riso is a traditional dish originating from Rome. It's made with a combination of firm tomatoes, olive oil, rice, salt, and pepper. The tomatoes are hollowed out and the contents are set aside in a bowl. They are then stuffed with a combination of leftover tomatoes, rice, salt, olive oil, and pepper. The tops are placed back on the tomatoes, which are baked in the oven until the rice mixture turns slightly brown and the dish is ready to be served. As an alternative, cubed potatoes can be placed around the tomatoes while they're being baked.
