This recipe that is and low carb at the same time. Since it doesn't call for any bread crumbs or stuffing mix, even people following a gluten free diet may like this side dish.
Plum or Roma tomatoes are ideal for this recipe because they are less 'juicy' than other tomatoes. The tomato 'skin' itself has a more concentrated flavor than many varieties, which is one of the reasons Plum or Roma tomatoes are so often used to make sauces.
