Ingredients
350g/12oz Turkey mince
4 large firm beef tomatoes
Salt and black pepper
1tbsp coconut oil?
1small onion, peeled and chopped
50g/2oz mushrooms, finely chopped
2tbsp home made red pesto
150ml/1/4pt chicken stock
Method
Cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Push the pulp and tomato liquid through a sieve into a bowl and reserve, discarding the seeds.
Season the insides of the tomato shells and leave upside down on a plate to drain.
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until soft. Add the mince, increase the heat slightly and fry the mince until it starts to brown. Lower the heat again and add the mushrooms, red pesto, stock and reserved tomato pulp and liquid.
Stir well, cover the pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for a further 5 minutes so the liquid reduces and the mixture is quite thick. Leave to cool, then pack into the tomato shells and replace the lids.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Stand the tomatoes in a shallow ovenproof dish and bake them uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
