My Italian Stuffed Tomatoes recipe is a decent departure from the average stuffed tomato recipe. It isn’t baked in the tomato. It doesn’t contain bread crumbs. Every other recipe that I had found had both of those as an attribute. So, I set out to find or develop a fresh take on your run-of-the-mill Italian Stuffed Tomato. After finding one recipe in an obscure vegan cookbook, I played around with it and came up with this recipe. It is more like a stuffed tomato salad as it is a cold dish, rather than the traditional hot oven-roasted slathered in cheese variety. I hope you enjoy!

Italian Stuffed Tomatoes
Fresh tomatoes stuffed with beans and more
Ingredients
- 1 15-oz can white beans navy or cannellini
- 1 15-oz can artichoke hearts chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion(s) finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup basil pesto
- 6 large tomatoes
Instructions
- Combine the beans, artichoke, onions, pepper, and pesto in a medium bowl.
- Cut the tops off the tomatoes and spoon out the insides leaving a cavity for the filling.
- Fill each tomato with filling and serve on a small plate or bowl. I like to serve in a bowl so I can put more filling and have it overflow the tomato.
