Stuffed Lemons in the Oven is a Mediterranean side dish recipe that takes about 45 min from start to finish and serves 4. It calls for 5 ingredients across 6 steps, and is rated easy. A serving works out at around 20 kcal with roughly 1 g of protein. Filed under gluten free, dairy free, paleolithic and primal.
Carefully trim off the ends of the 2 unwaxed lemons, making sure not to cut too deeply; you want to keep the bottom intact. Discard the trimmed ends.
Next, cut each lemon in half crossways, creating four small lemon 'bowls' with a closed bottom.
Cut a piece of mozzarella to fit snugly into one lemon bowl. Layer a basil leaf, half an anchovy fillet, and half a cherry tomato on top, then add a pinch of salt and pepper and a little drizzle of olive oil.
Place another slice of mozzarella on top, filling the lemon bowl completely. Repeat this process for the remaining lemon halves.
