Step 1

Slice the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds and flesh. (Save to add to a soup) Turn the tomatoes over for 15-20 minutes then dry insides with paper towels. To a skillet add 1 tbsp olive oil and heat to medium high. Then add the bell pepper, onion, zucchini and green onion. Sauté a few minutes until slightly golden. Cool, then stir in the rest of the ingredients. Spoon filling into the tomatoes and place in a baking dish. They may be refrigerated until later in the day at this point. Mix the Panko and olive oil together and add to the top of the tomatoes. Press very gently. Bake uncovered at 400°F for 18-22 minutes.
