Directions

Cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out with a small spoon. Discard the seeds. Chop the tops and whatever flesh you scooped out finely. In a saucepan, add the chopped tomato, corn and white wine, cover and simmer until tender. Drain.

Mix together all the remaining ingredients, except the oil. Spoon the mixture into the tomatoes, piling high in the center. Sprinkle with oil. Arrange tomatoes in an oven-proof dish and bake uncovered 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.
