1
Cut off the top part of each tomato (the lid) and scoop out the flesh with a teaspoon. Pass the tomato flesh through a sieve into a bowl to extract all the juice and remove the seeds. Peel and chop the onion, finely chop the celery, and quickly sauté both vegetables in oil. Remove from heat, add cooked grains, a little tomato juice, and chopped herbs. The grain filling should not float in juice; add just enough juice for the grains to absorb. Season with salt and pepper.
