The sun is finally out, temperatures are rising, gardens are blooming, and smiles are blossoming as we grill. These stuffed tomatoes cooked en papillote are one of my favourite BBQ side dishes, and they're always a hit! Tasty, melt-in-the-mouth and full of good vegetables, they're also perfect for a vegetarian meal or to accompany grilled meats.
