Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver’s Stuffed Tomatoes are oven-baked tomatoes filled with a seasoned rice mixture, combined with garlic, onions, herbs, and olive oil. The tomatoes roast gently, turning sweet and soft while the rice absorbs all the delicious juices.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 8 medium ripe tomatoes

    • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

    • 1 small onion, finely chopped

    • 2 garlic cloves, minced

    • 1 small courgette, grated (optional)

    • 2 tbsp olive oil

    • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped

    • 1 tbsp tomato purée

    • Salt and black pepper, to taste

    • Optional: ½ cup grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or parmesan)

    • Optional: pinch of chilli flakes

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tomatoes

Slice the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the pulp. Keep the shells intact and save the pulp for later.

Step 2: Cook the Aromatics

Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté chopped onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. This forms the base of the filling.

Step 3: Mix the Filling

Combine cooked rice, tomato pulp, herbs, sautéed vegetables, tomato purée, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4: Stuff the Tomatoes

Spoon the rice mixture generously into each tomato. Press lightly so the filling is compact.

Step 5: Add Cheese if Using

Top each tomato with grated cheese to create a golden, bubbling finish.

Step 6: Bake Until Tender

Place the stuffed tomatoes in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes until soft.

Step 7: Serve Warm

Serve immediately as a vegetarian main or alongside grilled meats.
