Ingredients

4 servings

  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 16 leaves fresh basil
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
  • 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar, or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Pour boiling water over couscous in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let couscous soak until the water is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Slice the tops from tomatoes and take a very small slice of the bottoms so they will be stable upright. Use a spoon to remove and discard the tomato innards. Put tomatoes in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake tomatoes in the preheated oven until lightly charred at the edges, about 20 minutes.
  • Line the inner walls of each tomato with 4 basil leaves.
  • Toss mozzarella cheese with the couscous; stuff into tomatoes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top of the stuffed tomatoes.
