Sometimes you can’t pass a good deal on Roma tomatoes! And thanks to modern markets, they are available year round. 
That’s what inspired this delicious appetizer that can be served hot or cold.
Try these for Christmas parties, wine tastings, barbecues or a nice brunch. The leftovers ( if any) go very well cold on top of greens or hot with pasta.

Ingredients:

8 Roma tomatoes, cut on a diagonal, cored & drained, (put upside down on paper towel for 10 minutes)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup chopped scallions sautéed in olive oil
4 Tbls grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan
pinch of grated nutmeg to (leave out in case of nut allergies)
 salt & pepper to taste

Mix the ricotta with the other ingredients in a bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the mix in the tomatoes. Garnish with green onion, grated cheese or olives.
If served hot, broil in a 450 Degree oven for 5 minutes
