List of ingredients for Stuffed beef tomatoes with spicy mince


* 8 Beef Tomatoes with tops cut off and reserved
* 2 tablespoons Belazu Extra virgin olive oil
* 1 Onion, finely chopped
* 2 to 4 Cloves Garlic, or to taste, finely chopped
* A couple of pinches of chilli powder, Paprika, ground cumin and All spice
* 500g/1lb 2oz Lamb Mince
* 1 tablespoon of Tomato puree
* 1 tablespoon Belazu Rose Harissa or orange biter
* Juice of 1 Lemon
* 2 bunches fresh Mint, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon of dried mint
* 4 tablespoons of dry sherry.

===Method===
* Scoop out the Tomato flesh from each tomato and put in a bowl then put to one side. An ice-cream scoop is good for this.
* Keep about half of the tomato flesh, and all of the pips, place in a sieve to drain excess liquid. Discard the rest.
* In a large deep-sided Frying pan, heat the Olive oil and add the Onion. Cook gently till beginning to soften. Then add Garlic, one pinch each of the Spices and the Chillies.
* Give it a good stir and then cook for a couple of minutes.
* Tip in the Mince and stir to break it all up. Add the remaining Spices, Tomato purée, Belazu Rose Harissa, Lemon juice and the Mint.
* Mix then stir in the reserved Tomato flesh till all is combined. Cook gently for about 15 minutes until the mixture is fairly dry.
* When cooked, taste and season with Salt and Freshly ground black pepper.
* If the mixture has lots of fat, drain off any excess.
* Sit the Tomatoes in a Roasting tin then spoon the mixture into each and pop the Tomato lid on. Add a tablespoon of sherry to each tomato.
* Cover with Foil and Bake in the Oven for 1 hour, then using a Slotted spoon, carefully transfer the Tomatoes to a serving plate.
