Pine Nut Stuffed Basil Tomatoes

    I really enjoyed this recipe. I loved the idea of basil, pine nuts, and and rice stuffed in a tomato. It tasted similar to a risotto recipe I love except the tomato is on the outside! I don't care for it chilled, so I baked mine. I also added some Braggs Liquid Aminos (like soy sauce) to each tomato once stuffed.
