Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off the tops of the tomatoes and scoop out the flesh, reserving it for the filling.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine rice with reserved tomato flesh, diced vegetables, and fresh herbs. Add water or broth, bring to a boil, then simmer until rice is halfway cooked, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Fill each hollowed tomato with the rice mixture, pressing gently. If using, tuck potato wedges around the tomatoes.
  4. Pour crushed tomatoes over the stuffed tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bake uncovered for 1 to 1.5 hours until tomatoes are tender and bursting with flavor.
  6. Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes, serve warm garnished with crumbled feta, and enjoy!
