Stuffed Lamb Tomatoes
These stuffed tomatoes are filled with a savory mix of ground lamb, rice, and fresh herbs, all seasoned with warm cinnamon. You'll start by hollowing out the tomatoes and cooking the lamb filling on the stovetop until the rice is tender. Once stuffed, they bake until heated through and ready to serve, hot or cold. It's a straightforward dish that works well with a simple salad and some crusty bread.

Prep the Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Slice the tops off the 4 large tomatoes and set them aside. Using a teaspoon, carefully scoop out most of the pulp, making sure not to pierce the skin; finely chop the removed pulp, reserving any juices. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar inside each tomato to balance their acidity, then arrange them on a baking tray.
