Couscous Stuffed Campari Tomatoes
Serves: 6
Most often grown hydroponically (without soil) the Campari Tomato is unusual for being naturally “bumble bee” pollinated, lady bug protected, (which eliminates the need for any pesticides) and allowed to ripen on the vine to intensify their aroma, color and deliciously sweet and juicy flavor. The Campari tomato is small to medium in size, red, round and firm. It is harvested with the vine still attached which also gives it a longer shelf-life. Their perfect size makes them just great for snacking or for use in salads, pizza, sandwiches, in salsa, stuffed (as used in this delicious recipe) or roasted. Store your Campari tomatoes on the kitchen counter – never in the refrigerator. This will allow the tomatoes to ripen naturally and maintain their nutritional value.
