  • 1 bag fresh spinach
  • 1 tbsp creme fraiche
  • sprinkle of nutmeg

Method

Cut off the top of the tomatoes, scoop out the pulp and season the inside of the tomato with a little pepper.  Place upside down and leave to drain.  Meanwhile, saute the onion and garlic in oil until soft.  In a different pot, warm the creme fraiche then add to the onion and garlic; add the spinach and sprinkle of nutmeg - don't overcook the spinach, a few minutes is all it needs!  Once the mixture has been combined, scoop it into the tomatoes.  Place in the oven for approx ten minutes or until the tomatoes look cooked.  Delicious as a starter, side dish or healthy lunch.  Serves 4.
