Stuffed Tomatoes

Really, you could use this to stuff anything--zucchini, potatoes, onions--but you should probably have some tomatoes in the sauce, anyway. We serve them on a bed of brown rice.

• Ready In: 1 hr 50 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 18 stuffed tomatoes (not large)

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 kg  ground chuck
• 1⁄2 kg ground chicken
• 4  large onions, finely diced
• 18  medium tomatoes (not too firm)

Directions

1. Cut tomatoes in half and hollow out the halves with a spoon. Keep what you've hollowed out in a separate bowl.
2. Thoroughly blend ground beef, chicken and onions in a large bowl.
3. In a wide, shallow bowl, beat an egg. In another such bowl, blend bread crumbs (or matzo meal) with spices.
4. Stuff each tomato half with the beef mixture.
