This tomato recipe is my wife's favorite; she loves when I cook it for her. The tasty, meatless stuffing is perfect for a side dish, or filling enough for a whole meal. —Scott Szekretar, Islip, New York

Ingredients

2 medium tomatoes
1/2 small carrot
1/2 celery rib, sliced
1/2 small onion, peeled
1 small garlic clove, peeled
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine or vegetable broth
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Stuff tomatoes; replace tops. Place in a shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 2 servings.
