The uncooked stuffed tomatoes are a fresh and appetizing dish, perfect for summer or as an appetizer all year round.
The dish features ripe tomatoes, chosen for their firmness and sweetness, which are hollowed out to create a natural “bowl” ready to hold the filling.
The filling is a cleverly balanced combination of ingredients that offer a variety of flavors and textures. The protein base of the filling adds substance and a strong flavor, while the creamier components help bind everything together, ensuring a smooth and rich consistency.
Once stuffed, they are decorated with their original “lid” and can be garnished with fresh and colorful elements that add an aesthetic touch to the dish, like, in this case, basil.
The raw stuffed tomatoes are a light yet nutritious dish that combines freshness, flavor, and a touch of elegance, perfect for a variety of occasions.

To prepare the delicious uncooked stuffed tomatoes, take fresh tomatoes, wash them thoroughly under water and dry them with a paper towel.
Cut the top off, hollow them out, salt them and turn them upside down for a few minutes to let the water drain out. Pass the tomato pulp through a strainer to remove the water and follow the video recipe. Add fine salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to the filling before stuffing.

Tips and Notes
Use tomatoes of varieties that are firm and large enough to be stuffed.
You can customize the filling by adding other ingredients such as capers, finely chopped pickles
For a lighter version, you can replace the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Stuffed tomatoes can be stored in the fridge for two days in an airtight container. This helps prevent the absorption of odors from the refrigerator and keeps the tomatoes fresh.
If you don’t have an airtight container, you can cover each tomato with plastic wrap, making sure it is well sealed.
