When tomato season is at its peak, the French have the perfect response: tomates farçies.

This classic Provençal recipe calls for stuffing tomatoes with a mixture of beef, bread, and cheese, fragrant with herbs de Provençe, then roasting them on a bed of rice until tender and slightly crisp on top. This is a wonderfully comforting dish to welcome slightly cooler temperatures, all while enjoying late-summer bounty to the last bite.
