Method

Step 1 of 4

Carefully cut around the top of each tomato to make a hole 5cm across. Using a teaspoon, remove the insides, ensuring you leave a wall at least 1cm thick. Discard the insides and put the tomato shells to one side.

Step 2 of 4

Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan, add the onions, and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the okra and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, tomato purée, lemon juice, pine nuts, and rice. Season with the black pepper, then stir to combine and add the stock.

Step 3 of 4

Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid starts to dry up. Stir through the parsley and thyme and remove from the heat. Preheat the oven to 150°C.

Step 4 of 4

Stuff the tomatoes carefully and evenly with the rice mixture. Sit them in a deep-sided baking dish, packing them in fairly tightly. Pour over the rest of the olive oil, sprinkle with the caraway seeds (if using), and cover with foil. Put in the oven to bake for 1 hour. Serve with fresh crusty bread and a green salad.
