  I was not very pleased with the outcome of this recipe. The risotto was very mushy and the tomato split after I had baked it, despite following the recipe exactly! Would not make it again.

  i added some cubed feta to the rice before i stuffed the tomatos, it was delicious. Served with some spiced chicken, it went down a treat.

  Going to make this for the Girls next Wednesday the 11th. Thinking of using 2 packs of the Mediterranean Tomatoe instant rice that cooks for 2 mins in the microwave and lightly fying some different vegatables, then mix it altogether. I think that will be alot easier. Will let you all know how I get on.

  This is a simple dish to make but it was a great success - possibly the tastiest vegetarian meal I have cooked.

  The tomatoes split in the oven and were really mushy. I'd cook them at a lower temperature and for less time if I did this again. Very tasty though!

  i made it once and thought that the tomatoes were pretty pointless, the risotto was beautiful on its own, so when ever i do the recipe i ignore the tomatoes.

  I'm going to give this a try but will put the risotto in red bell peppers instead of tomatoes. The trick is to parboil them first, then pop into the oven when stuffed.
