Ingredients:

Serving

4 -5 large tomatoes
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup shallot, minced
2 cups vegetable broth or 2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups pesto sauce
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup risotto rice
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
salt
pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut off the tops of the tomatoes, remove core, and slice a small sliver off the bottoms so that they sit flat in the pan.
Spoon out the meat of the tomatoes, leaving only the shells. Save meat in a separate bowl.
Place tomatoes in a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
In a deep medium cooking pan, melt butter and olive oil. Add shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender-do NOT brown.
Add tomato meat and bay leaf.
Add rice and white wine and simmer until wine is completely absorbed.
Add vegetable broth or chicken stock 1/2 cup at a time, waiting until almost completely absorbed before adding the next 1/2 cup.
Add pesto, parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside mixture.
Bake tomato shells on 375°F for 10 minutes.
Fill tomatoes with mixture (remove bay leaf) and serve hot.
