Roasted Tomatoes à la Provençale Stuffed with Zucchini and Fresh Herbs
My recipe for Tomatoes Provençales is inspired by the typical cuisine, but it is a lighter version with a zucchini-herb stuffing (farce) intended as a pre-dinner bite. The tomatoes filled and baked and then served as an appetizer with cocktails.

The seafood themed plates started with skewered shrimp and ended with Salt and Pepper Calamari.
