Instructions
- Spray a large pan with oil and heat over a medium-high heat; add the onion, garlic and mushrooms and saute until soft, stirring for 2 minutes; add the ground beef, stirring, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until browned. (You may prefer to remove the onions, garlic and mushrroms from the pan while browning the meat to prevent them from burning.).
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Cut a thin slice from the top of each tomato and set it aside; use a teaspoon to remove the tomato flesh (well drained of juice) and juice; place the tomato shells in a baking dish; chop the tomato flesh and set aside; and discard the juice or save it for possible use in a stock or soup or casserole.
- Stir the rice, chopped tomato flesh, cinnamon and mint through the browned beef mixture, adding the onion, garlic and mushroom mixture if this had been set aside earlier; season with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste; spoon the mixture into the tomato shells; replace a tomato top on each tomato; spray with a little olive oil; and bake for 20 minutes.
- Serve with your choice of salad greens.
