Greek style stuffed tomatoes

Stuffed tomatoes is the ultimate Greek summer dish.  “Yemistá” as we call them is a meal that we enjoy eating this time of the year when tomatoes are rich in flavor, juicier and much tastier. They are usually stuffed with rice and different fresh herbs and baked in the oven, that being the most popular version.
