For another delicious stuffed tomato recipe, try our simple 5-ingredient stuffed roasted tomatoes with pesto. Okay don’t let these fancy-looking stuffed tomatoes with rice intimidate you, they’re actually really easy to make. With whole grain rice, pine nuts, pitted dates, olives, fresh herbs, and feta cheese, they’re bursting with Mediterranean flavors. They’re quite hearty and filling too, so they work as a vegetarian main as well! There are a lot of reasons I love them, but here are my top 3: I use an ancient grain rice blend for this recipe because I like the mix of textures and flavors, but you can use pretty much any rice variety. Not a fan of rice? You can easily swap it for quinoa, farro, or another ancient grain. In Italy or Greece, stuffed tomatoes with rice are often served with roasted potatoes. I like to serve them with a Mediterranean-inspired protein dish like my creamy sun dried tomato chicken, Italian seasoning chicken, or balsamic pork chops. If I’m eating them as a main, I like them with a simple crunchy salad like this asparagus salad with balsamic glaze or a kale caesar salad.
