   Here one (from WEIGHT WATCHER'S INTERNATIONAL COOKBOOK) Greek:

   Cut thin slice from stem end of each tomato; reserve slices. Set a sieve
   over a bowl. Scoop out pulp from tomatoes and place pulp in sieve to drain;
   set shells upside down on paper towels and let drain. Discard seeds from
   tomato pulp; reserve liquid. Chop pulp and set aside.

   In small nonstick skillet heat 2 teaspoons oil; add onion and garlic and
   saute until onion is golden. Stir in currants, salt, pepper, and 2
   tablespoons of reserved tomato liquid; remove from heat and stir in rice,
   nuts, parsley, mint, and sunflower seed.

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish set tomato
   shells upright; spoon 1/4 rice mixture into each tomato and top each with
   reserved tomato slice. Brush 1/2 teaspoon oil over each tomato and pour
   remaining tomato liquid into baking dish (to prevent sticking). Sprinkle
   each tomato with 3/4 teaspoon bread crumbs and bake until filling is hot
   and skin begins to split, about 30 minutes.Makes 4 servings.
