Stuffed Tomatoes Recipe - Gluten Free, Dairy Free

It's been a while since I've posted a recipe. I decided to try adapting a recipe from a popular local cookbook, The Multi-Cultural Cuisine of Trinidad and Tobago & The Caribbean by Naparima Girls' High School Cookbook  . This is the best cookbook ever. It has most of the local dishes so all I have to do now is to use the recipes as inspiration to create gluten free and dairy free versions. The original Stuffed Tomatoes recipe included breadcrumbs and butter/margarine which I substituted with rice and olive oil. The picture only has one stuffed tomato because I ate the others (Haha). They tasted really good.
