Copy List

1 (28 ounce) can Tuttorosso® Peeled Plum Tomatoes, drained
1 1/2 cups low fat ricotta cheese
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup chopped fresh basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg, beaten
3 slices bacon, halved
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons honey, or maple syrup
4 brochette skewers, or 8 to 10 wooden or metal kebab skewers

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375^o F.Neatly trim the stem-end of the tomatoes and clean out the tomato center. Chop the stem-ends and reserve. Stand the tomatoes on a rack with the open side draining.
If the skewers are wooden, soak for 15 minutes in cold water. In a large bowl place the chopped tomato ends, ricotta cheese, parsley, basil, garlic and egg. Mix well until smooth. Place in a large plastic sandwich bag trimming a corner for a hole or use a pastry bag. Refrigerate or use immediately.
Stuff the tomatoes evenly until plump with the ricotta mix. Clean the opening with a towel.Refrigerate, if possible, before wrapping with bacon. Wrap each with bacon half and stick with a skewer. Set a roasting rack on a baking sheet and place the tomatoes seam side down.
Roast the bacon wrapped tomatoes about 20 minutes. As bacon cooks, the cheese mixture will firm up the tomato. Turn and continue to roast another 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.; Allow to cool before serving.
Plate serving is two skewers per person. Drizzle lightly with honey. Serve separately or on top of a summer salad.
