These compounds can help protect against various diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer. Additionally, tomatoes are a good source of fiber and promote gut health. The tomatoes I chose today for this recipe are San Marzano tomatoes, but round tomatoes are great as well. Don’t miss the recipe for Tropea Onion Fritters and the recipe for Parmesan Zucchini.

Slightly salt the inside of the tomatoes. Fill the tomatoes with the stuffing using a teaspoon. Place them side by side in a greased baking dish.
