Ingredients
- 6 large, ripe tomatoes
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- A pinch of chilli flakes

How to make the recipe
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan

- Add the rice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, parsley and tomato Pesto. Mix thoroughly, taste, and adjust the seasoning to your liking
- Fill the tomatoes with the mixture, and 'lid' with the tomato tops
- Put the tomatoes in an oiled ovenproof dish
- Put the cubed potato in a bowl, spoon over 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and mix well to coat all the cubes, then arrange them around the tomatoes in the dish. Shower with the remaining oil and oregano
- Cook for about 1.5 hours or until the potato and rice are cooked, and serve
