Tomato Stacks


Ingredients:
500g vine ripened tomatoes
1/3 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons basil pesto
100g feta, finely crumbled
olive oil for drizzling

Method:
1. Pre-heat oven to 200°C (or 180
°C for fan forced). Cut off tomatoes from the vine, leaving the calyx and some stem (the green bit that's stuck to the tomato).
2. Slice a small amount off the base of each tomato, this is so it won't fall over. Cut each tomato in thirds horizontally.
3. Combine the pine nuts, pesto and feta in a bowl. Arrange a spoonful of mixture between the tomato layers and press together firmly.
4. Place the tomatoes in a medium sized oven-proof dish and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
