Baked Tomatoes Stuffed with Tuna and Rice!

Okay so I was on recipes.kaboose and I found this amazing tuna and tomato recipe. I don't know about you guys, but I have started to really like tuna in the past few months. I obviously love tomatoes and rice, so this recipe is a winner for me!

Ingredients
  • 1 (5 ounce) can solid light tuna, packed in oil
  • 1/2 cup cooked fragrant rice, such as jasmine or basmati
  • 6 medium-size black olives, drained, sliced and coarsely chopped
  • 1 small tomato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped fine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large tomatoes (beefsteak varieties work well)
  • 4 lemon wedges
Instructions!
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
  2. In medium bowl, combine tuna, rice, all but one teaspoon of the olives, chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, vinegar and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Slice top off 4 large tomatoes and scoop out the flesh and seeds. Fill to top with tuna and rice mixture. Place tomatoes in baking dish.
  4. Bake stuffed tomatoes in oven for 12-15 minutes or until filling is hot. Remove, garnish with chopped olives and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
This recipe takes about 25 minutes and it serves 4!
