Preparation Steps
Step 1
Thoroughly wash all vegetables, herbs, and the egg. Defrost the minced meat. Peel and wash the garlic and shallots. Prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Sauté the onion with one clove of garlic over medium heat for 3 minutes until golden brown. Then let the sautéed mixture cool.
Step 3
In a deep bowl, combine the ground meat with the fried onions, breadcrumbs, milk, and chicken egg. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh parsley. Add it to the minced meat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well again to combine all the flavors.
Step 5
Carefully slice off the tops of the tomatoes and gently scoop out the pulp, being careful not to damage the walls, to create neat cups for the stuffing.
Step 6
Finely chop the tomato pulp you removed and mix it with the remaining garlic clove. This will add extra flavor and juiciness to the dish.
Step 7
Evenly distribute the prepared minced meat among the tomatoes, filling each "cup." Cover the stuffed tomatoes with their cut-off tops. Carefully arrange them in a baking dish.
Step 8
Place a small pat of butter on top of each stuffed tomato. Pour the remaining tomato pulp into the baking dish. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 160 degrees Celsius and bake for 1 hour until done.
Step 9
Before serving, sprinkle the hot stuffed tomatoes with grated cheese, allowing it to melt and form an appetizing crust. Garnish with fresh basil for added aroma and vibrancy.
