Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 55 g cream cheese
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cracked pepper
- 5 round tomatoes, tops removed, seeds discarded
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180˚C.
Boil sweet potato and garlic for 20 minutes, or until soft. Drain, place into a bowl with cream cheese and seasoning.
Mash until smooth.
Fill tomatoes with potato mixture, about ¼ cup or 60 g per tomato, and bake for 15 minutes until thoroughly warmed.
Sprinkle with cheese before serving.
Note
• A range of colourful heirloom tomatoes would make this recipe a knockout. Mix various colours on the same plate and pop the tops back on like lids with the vines still attached.
