  2. Fill the hollowed-out tomatoes with the raisin mugrabia.

  5. Place the tomato lids on the stuffed tomatoes.
  6. Bake the stuffed tomatoes in a 170° oven for approx. 20 minutes.

UNser TIPP

Mugrabia is the Lebanese couscous with much larger balls. In principle, it is small pasta. Therefore, the Sardinian pasta type “fregola sarda”, which can be found in well-stocked Italian delicatessens, is also suitable as an alternative. If you can’t get either, you can also use Turkish or Greek “rice noodles” made from durum wheat semolina.
