Chef tips
To ensure the tomatoes hold their shape and don't fall apart during cooking, choose firm tomatoes and hollow them out gently with a spoon, leaving the walls at least a quarter-inch thick. To elevate the flavor, try adding a handful of toasted pine nuts to the meat mixture and drizzle high-quality raw tahini over the dish just before serving.
