Ingredients

4 medium ripe tomatoes

FOR THE STUFFING:
1/4 cup quick-cooking couscous

6 Kalamata olives, pitted and finely chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Cut a 1/2 inch slice off the top of each tomato reserve the tops. With a small knife cut around the inside of the fleshy part of the tomato (do not cut through the bottom of the tomato) to within 1/2 inch of the skin. With a teaspoon, scoop out the tomato flesh, leaving about 1/2 inch of the flesh attached to the skin. Discard the juice and seeds to make room for the stuffing.

Add the remaining stuffing ingredients, including salt and pepper to taste, and stir to blend. Spoon the stuffing into the tomatoes. Replace the tops.

Grill the stuffed tomatoes over Direct Medium heat until the tomatoes are blistered and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove from the grill with a wide spatula. Serve warm.
