Description
The iconic Bolognese gets a makeover in these stuffed tomatoes with a side of mozzarella cheesy melts. They're so moreish, you might have to make double!
Method
Step 1 of 4
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Slice tops off tomatoes and reserve. Scoop out tomato flesh, being careful not to break tomato shells. Roughly chop tomato flesh and set aside.
Step 2 of 4
Heat 2 tsp oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Increase heat to high and add mince and 2 tsp oil. Cook mince, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, for 3-4 minutes or until browned. Add reserved tomato flesh, tomato paste and vinegar and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes, until thickened slightly.
Step 3 of 4
Spoon bolognese evenly into each tomato shell. Place tomato tops over filling. Roast for 10 minutes or until tomatoes are tender, but still holding their shape.
Step 4 of 4
While the tomatoes are cooking, preheat grill to high. Scatter mozzarella over bread and grill for 2-3 minutes or until mozzarella is melted and bread is toasted. Cut in half. Serve stuffed tomatoes with cheesy melts.
