From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food
Try some of these healthy and low-fat recipes for vegetarian stuffed tomatoes. Never tried stuffing a tomato before? Watch this video to see how it's done. You could also try using these recipes to make stuffed bell peppers instead of tomatoes, though you may need to increase the quantity of the stuffing in order to fill the peppers. Another quick tip: if you can't get your stuffed tomatoes to stand up in the baking pan, try placing them in a lightly greased muffin tin.

Italian stuffed tomatoes
No, they're not stuffed with real Italians, they're vegetarian! Am I the only one who still remembers that joke and thinks its funny? No, these tomatoes are stuffed with a Tuscan-inspired mixture of fresh herbs, sun-dried tomatoes and sweetened baked beans.

Pesto stuffed tomatoes
Make vegetarian stuffed tomatoes with a simple pesto and bread crumb stuffing mixture. Use a homemade vegan pesto recipe to make these easy stuffed tomatoes vegan as well as vegetarian. These could be either a light and healthy vegetarian main dish or a vegan appetizer or hors d' oeuvres.
