Preparation and ingredients
In most countries, the tomatoes are stuffed with meat (lamb) and rice; other ingredients are onion, parsley, olive oil, mint, black pepper, and salt. In the Roman dish, the filing is traditionally made with rice alone[1] and it can additionally be flavored with cinnamon.[2]
In Provence, France, it is common to prepare tomate farcies with minced meat, breadcrumbs and cheese.[3] In Nice, the fruits are initially emptied and subsequently flavored with a filling of onion, garlic, aubergine, pepper, tomato paste and marjoram.[4][5]
