One of the biggest pleasure of travel is meeting people who are willing to share their delicious recipes with you. On a trip to Provence, France, I picked up this super simple and delicious stuffed tomato recipe (or as the French call them, Tomates Farcies Charcutières). It takes just 30 minutes to make (40 with prep time), and you end up with the juiciest stuffed tomatoes ever. I used the tomatoes that were available in the fridge, but if you want to use the best tomatoes for stuffing, see if you can get your hands on Zapotec Ribbed, Yellow Stuffers (these look almost like peppers), Liberty Bell, Striped Cavern, or Green Zebra tomatoes.Go ahead, make it today and let me know how it came out.
