with couscous and goat’s cheese

Halve the tomatoes and scoop out the insides with a small spoon. Chop the tomato cores into small pieces, place them in a baking dish, and season with salt and pepper. For the filling, mix the couscous with olive oil and a pinch of salt, pour over 200 ml of boiling water, cover, and let stand until the couscous has absorbed all the water. Taste to see if it’s soft. Add a little more boiling water if necessary. Then mix the couscous with the cream cheese. Spoon the couscous mixture into the tomatoes, place them in the prepared baking dish, top each tomato with a thick slice of cheese to coat, and bake at 180 degrees (convection oven) for about 20 minutes.
