This is a quick and easy snack. You can also use it as a starter. I’ve tried some stuffing , you can try and make many many variations with it. So much fun!
Firstly, slice off very thin slices from the top and bottom of the tomatoes. Then cut the tomato into two pieces. Scoop out the centre carefully. It would look like this:

Love tomatoes – it certainly goes places. I really liked that first pic of the cut raw tomato – I love to eat it raw. But I’ll try some of these stuffed thingies.
nice
Yummylicious!!!!!!! I feel like to pluck them right from the screen and eat it
so tempting!!!!!!!
hehe i like the first one
Tomatoes are bloody expensive here! I generally use tomato puree for all my cullinary needs. $3.50 a tomato is generally not worth it at times.
whoa thats a lot! maybe you can try potatoes instead.
Or green peppers!
Now I know what to experiment this weekend. Tx Gayatri. Will definitely leave a feedback.
