Tomato stuffed with quinoa

First we rinse the quinoa with cold water. Then we cook it following the instructions on the package. Once cooked, set aside.

Chop the onion and zucchini into small pieces. In a frying pan add a spoonful of olive oil and the onion. When it is poached add the zucchini and wait until it is lightly cooked.

While the onion and zucchini are cooking over medium heat, wash two large tomatoes. Cut off the "head" and empty the contents, set aside. Crush the tomato pulp with a handful of raisins, salt, pepper and basil in a food processor.

Add this tomato sauce to the pan with the onion and zucchini. Turn up the heat and stir until it reduces.

When the previous mixture is thicker, turn off the heat. Add the cooked quinoa to the pan and mix. Then fill the previously emptied tomatoes with this mixture.

I accompanied the tomato with a base of lettuce and walnuts, which I seasoned with a pinch of salt, a spoonful of olive oil and a spoonful of balsamic vinegar. I also added fresh mozzarella cheese and olives. Everything goes great together! Although if you are vegan and remove the cheese, the combination is still very tasty! 😋
