Equipment
1 oven
1 baking sheet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- 6 pitted green olives
- 6 pickled capers
- 2 basil leaves
- 3 teaspoons of grated parmesan
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Turn on the oven at 150°C.
- Put the capers into the water and leave them to soak for 5 - 10 minutes.
- Wash the cherry tomatoes, dry them and cut the upper end; remove the pulp inside gently with a parisienne or a teaspoon and keep it aside.
- Chop olives, capers and the pulp of the tomatoes, put them in a pan, add the breadcrumbs, parmesan, the basil leaves chopped with your hands, a teaspoon of oil and a grind of pepper.
- Fill the tomatoes with a teaspoon, helping yourself with your fingers, compact the mixture by squeezing a little inside. Place on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, sprinkle with a drizzle of oil and bake for about 20 minutes with a ventilated oven at medium heat.
- When you see that the tomato skin has become softer and the mixture inside changes color, they are ready for gratin. The last 5 minutes put the oven with grill function and move the tomatoes upwards so they will make a delicious crust on the surface.
- You can serve the cherry tomato at room temperature or warm.
