Ready in 55 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 large beef tomatoes
- 2 spring onions, trimmed and sliced
- 1tbsp olive oil
- 40g Asda arborio rice
- 200ml hot vegetable stock
- 25g Asda pine nuts
- 50g Asda Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1tbsp Asda pesto
- Fresh Asda basil, to serve
Method
1 Cut a slice from the top of each tomato and carefully scoop out the flesh and seeds. Discard the seeds and chop the flesh. Put the shells in an ovenproof dish.
2 In a small pan, cook the spring onions in the oil for about 2 minutes until soft. Stir in the rice, then add a quarter of the stock and simmer until the liquid is absorbed. Add the chopped tomato.
3 Add the rest of the stock, 2 tablespoons at a time, allowing it to be absorbed before adding more. When cooked (about 25 minutes), the rice should be tender and creamy. (You may not need all the stock.) Turn into a bowl.
4 While the rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 220C/Gas 7. Put the pine nuts on a baking tray and cook for 5 minutes. Add the Feta, pesto and pine nuts to the rice and stuff the tomatoes. Bake for 20 minutes.
