Cous Cous and Roasted Vegetable Stuffed Tomatoes
I think the only thing better than roasted tomatoes are roasted tomatoes stuffed with my favourite things! This recipe takes some big juicy tomatoes and roasts them alongside cous cous, radish, feta cheese, olives and a few other tasty ingredients. What I like most about this recipe is the different textures - from the slightly crunchy roasted radishes to the soft, creamy feta, these stuffed tomatoes really create an explosion of tastes and textures after each bite.
I like these stuffed tomatoes both hot and cold. I usually make a batch of 4 tomatoes, then save 2 four my lunch the following day - I just store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re also a very pretty dish - the pink radishes, black olives and red tomatoes create a vibrant blend of colours that I love!
