"This recipe is my riff on a traditional Roman summer dish of baked tomatoes stuffed with rice, often served with potatoes. With a glut of ripened tomatoes from the garden, this dish was on high rotation throughout our Umbrian summer. The children happily devoured the cold leftovers from the fridge the next day!

I recommend seasoning this dish generously, as it takes more than you think, especially when using vegetable stock." – Annie Conley
