Waleed Asadi: Levantine Stuffed Tomatoes | بندورة محشية | Bandoura Mahshi

May 10, 2026 | In the Levant, we stuff pretty much any and all vegetables and to start this stuffed vegetable series off, we'll be stuffing tomatoes. (Yes, I know, they really are fruits, but we eat them like vegetables, so today, I’m classing it as a vegetable!)

We're starting with this because I consider tomatoes to be very easy to stuff and they cook in the oven so it's pretty hands off. It's a great way to step into more complex Levantine recipes without being all too intimidating. I really hope you can give this one a try.

Nb: This name is a name given to this dish in the Levant. There, it is sometimes also sometimes called (محشي بندورة), which is a reversal of the words. In the Gulf and in Egypt, the dish is called (طماطم محشوة), or (طماطم محشوة).
