Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300ºF.

Cut a thin slice from the top of each tomato, reserving the tops. Use a teaspoon to hollow out the tomato, saving the pulp.

Step 4

Stir in lentils, tomato pulp, olives, almonds, parsley, and breadcrumbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Fill the tomatoes with lentil mixture, pressing down firmly with a spoon. Place in greased baking dish, return tomato tops, and drizzle with remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Bake for 50 minutes or until the tomatoes are tender. Garnish with feta cheese and serve while warm.
