Tomates farcies (stuffed tomatoes) are both filling and fun. The tomatoes are hollowed out and stuffed (in this case, with a savory ground beef mixture), and then baked to perfection. The farce peeks out of the tomatoes in acoquettish sort of way, and children love lifting up the tomato "hats" to see what lies underneath. Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain.
