Cous Cous & Mackerel Stuffed Tomatoes


A Chef in Zimbabwe taught me how to make ‘Zwakanaka tomatoes’ (tomatoes stuffed with creamy mealies and cheese) which I loved. I have made them lots of times but decided to change the recipe and use cous cous and mackerel instead.

Ingredients:
3 large tomatoes
Olive oil
Cous cous, prepared according to instructions
Tin of Mackerel
Lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste
3 teaspoons chilli, diced


Method:
Cut the tops off the tomatoes and keep aside.
Using a spoon, remove the inside of the tomato so you are just left with the skin / shell.
Mix the prepared cous cous, a little oil, the mackerel and lemon zest together.
Carefully fill the tomatoes.
Replace the top of the tomato.
Sprinkle with olive oil.
Place in baking tray and bake for about 20 mins
