Not much to say about this one. The combination of fresh ingredients, the slightly hot flavour of the paprika potatoes, the fresh green lettuce, warm ricotta, tomatoes, fresh herbs. Do I really have to say more? It’s so good and I am happy to share it with you.

12 tsp ricotta (one tsp for each tomato half)
1 bunch of basil, fresh

Salt
Black pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 120°C.
Cut the tomatoes in half lenghtways and scoop out the insides.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with some salt and place them face down and a clean towel. That will help pulling some of the moisture out of the tomatoes.
Chop basil, parsley and garlic finely.
In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, basil and parsley thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
With a teaspoon fill the tomato halves with the ricotta mix.
Put the breadcrumbs on a plate and dip the ricotta filled tomatoes face down into the crumbs.
Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve with paprika potatoes and green lettuce.
