Cheese-Stuffed Tomatoes with Garlic and Dill

Thanks to their content of plant glycosides (saponins and anthocyanins) and various acids (folic, ascorbic, citric, oxalic, tartaric, malic, glycolic, succinic, linoleic, palmitic, ferulic, and caffeic), tomatoes enhance vision, rejuvenate the skin, boost overall health, prevent sclerosis, and help ward off cancer. And if you stuff the tomatoes with cheese, garlic, and dill, then drizzle everything with lemon juice, the therapeutic effect of this snack will be even greater.

Ingredients: tomatoes – 5 pcs; cheese – 200 g; garlic – 1 clove; dill – 2 sprigs; lemon juice – 1 tsp; mint or parsley – 1 sprig.

Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the insides to make room for the filling. Turn the halves with the pulp removed upside down to let the juice drain out (you can use the leftover tomato flesh in other dishes).

Finely chop the dill. Mash the chopped dill with salt, add the minced garlic, season lightly with lemon juice, and mash again to release the fragrant aroma.

Mix the seasoned herb and garlic mixture with the cheese and stuff the tomatoes. Garnish each tomato with a sprig of mint or a parsley leaf on top.

Tip

Do not use sprouted garlic in cooking, as the green shoot will add bitterness to the dish. Chew a sprig of parsley or chew a few cardamom seeds to freshen your breath after eating garlic.
