Roasted tomatoes stuffed with rice (Pomodori con riso)
"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! It’s a dish that can be made well ahead of time and served at room temperature. I recommend seasoning this dish generously, as it takes more than you think, especially when using vegetable stock." – Annie Conley
