Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 190C (170C fan, gas 5). Slice the tops off the ripe plum tomatoes, scoop out the flesh and seeds with a teaspoon into a bowl, and reserve the tomato shells.

  2. 2

    Heat half the olive oil in a pan and cook the onion for 6 minutes, then add the reserved tomato flesh, short grain rice and pine nuts and cook for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add 100ml water, cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid; take off the heat and stir in the feta cheese, flat-leaf parsley and fresh dill.

  4. 4

    Fill the tomato shells with the rice mixture and arrange in a baking dish, drizzling with the remaining olive oil.

  5. 5

    Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes are tender.
