Pomodori ripieni di riso

Rice-stuffed tomatoes, fragrant with herbs and glistening with oil, say summer in Italy to me. Other fillings are based on bread crumbs or ground meat (you could use the mixture for Meatballs from Sardinia, doubling the bread crumbs), but the fillings based on rice are my favorites. You can serve the tomatoes as a Side dish to roast chicken or baked fish, as a light supper, or as an antipasto.
