Stuffed Tomatoes

I had plenty of tomatoes to go around. I decided to make this delicious meal with the ingredients I had at home. It's simple to make and takes about 20 - 30 minutes to make including preparation time.

Ingredients:

10 Tomatoes 

4 ounces of mushrooms

1 to 2 cups of spinach

3 garlic cloves

Onions

1 to 2 cups of bean sprouts

Salt & Pepper for seasoning

1 to 2 cups of Bread crumbs

Olive Oil

Hot Pepper Jack Cheese (Vegans can add Jalapeños or Chili Powder to give it that kick)

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and hollow out the tomatoes, and put the center of the tomatoes in a separate bowl.

Step 2: Chop onions, mince garlic, chop mushrooms, and bean sprouts.

Step 3: On a frying pan put olive oil, and start cooking the mushrooms, onions,  and bean sprouts. 

Step 4: After two to three minutes add the spinach, and the tomato centers in the mix. Add salt, pepper, and garlic to season.

Step 5: After another two to three minutes mix the ingredients with the bread crumbs. 

Step 6: Add the mix into the tomatoes. On the top add the shredded hot pepper jack cheese (vegans sprinkle with chili powder or jalapeños. Put the top on and let it be in the oven for ten to twelve minutes.

Step 7: Serve, eat, and enjoy!

Here is an amazing song to listen to by Refused. I'm thrilled that they're touring again. If you're in San Francisco on the 18th of April, go to The Warfield to see an amazing band play. If you happen to be at Coachella, definitely see this band!
