~Tasty Tuesday~

Spring is in the air!  Our grass is starting to turn green & our pear trees are in full bloom; God's creation at its finest.  And I love it!

Stuffed Tomatoes
(Technically this might be a better late summer recipe when the fresh tomatoes are at their ripest...but I love the "freshness" of this recipe & it reminds me of spring today.)

6 Large Tomatoes
2 Tbs. Chopped Green Onion
2 Tbs. Chopped Basil Leaves
6 oz. Goat Cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 Cups Cooked Orzo

Topping: 2 Tbs. Olive Oil & 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Cut into the tops of the tomatoes & seed the inside.  (You may need to cut a small slice from the bottom of each tomato as well so they stand up straight.)  Combine the onions, basil, goat cheese, orzo, s/p.  Stuff each tomato with the mixture & then drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil & top with parmesan cheese.  Grill for 10 minutes.

The beauty of this recipe is that it can be a side to any grilled meat or a meal in itself! 
Hope you enjoy!
