Savoury Stuffed Tomatoes

When visiting family friends in the south of France, I always look forward to eating stuffed tomatoes. Mme Taurines seasons her dish with abundant garlic and Provençal herbs. It is so aromatic that you can smell it down the street. It is served with plain rice and a simple salad. A bonus is that it can be made in advance and re-heated with no noticeable deterioration in the quality of the dish. Here is my East-West version of her delectable dish.
