Delicious! I made these with some fresh tomatoes that needed to be used up. I just chopped up about 3 med tomatoes and drained them well before adding the rest of the filling ingredients. I also added a bit more basil & oregano to make up for using unseasoned tomatoes. They were easy to put together and tasted so good. I will definitely make them again.
