Surprise your loved one with a bouquet of edible tomato tulips. Made from Roma tomatoes, brown rice and tuna fish in olive oil. Very filling, that’s why this recipe was categorized as both a main dish and an appetizer. It just depends on how many stuffed tomato tulips were eaten. If one only, it’s an appetizer; if more than one, it’s a main dish. There are many options for stuffing tulip tomatoes (potato mix, egg and cheese, etc). Our stuffing is Mediterranean diet inspired. Filling and healthy dish for any occasion. The more tomato tulips are on the plate, the more beautiful the bouquet.
