Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium-sized tomatoes
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 small chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil a baking dish.
- In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil until translucent. Mix in quinoa, feta, parsley, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.
- Slice off the tops of the tomatoes and scoop out the insides, leaving a sturdy shell. Place them in the baking dish.
- Spoon the quinoa mixture into each tomato without overfilling. Replace tops if desired.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until tomatoes are tender and stuffing is heated through.
- Meanwhile, toss radishes, cucumber, mint, parsley, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve baked tomatoes with the fresh herby radish salad on the side.
Notes
- Use a serrated knife to cleanly cut tomato tops.
- Chill the salad for better contrast with the warm tomatoes.
- Do not overstuff tomatoes to prevent them from collapsing during baking.
