Stuffed Tomatoes

I thought I'd post some of my favorite summertime recipes since we all have an abundance of produce right now. These are so easy to make, but they look really fancy. They'd be great to serve to guests.

5 Tomatoes
2 Jarred Pimientos, drained and chopped
1/4 Red Onion
1/2 Small Zucchini, diced into 1/4 in. squares
1 Jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1/2 Lemon
1/2 teaspoon Oregano
2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro or Flat-Leaf Parsley, chopped
2 Tablespoons Bread Crumbs
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

1. Cut the tops off 4 tomatoes and trim a thin slice off the bottoms so they will sit upright. Hollow out the tomatoes with a spoon and discard the insides. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
2. Seed and chop the remaining tomato and place in bowl.
3. Add the next 7 ingredients to the bowl.
4. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over mixture.
5. Add olive oil and salt and pepper and toss mixture to combine.
6. Fill the empty tomatoes with stuffing and serve.
