Step 1
To prepare the dish, it's better to use meaty "plum" tomatoes, but I didn't have any. I took large, well-shaped tomatoes. Wash them.

Cut each tomato in half. Carefully remove the green stem. Remove the seeds from each tomato half.

Step 3
I had smoked pork neck. You can use any ready-made meat (even just boiled meat). Chop it finely.

Add chopped dill and grated garlic to the meat.

Step 5
Dress everything with sour cream and mix. I didn't add salt—the meat and cheese already contain enough.

Step 6
Fill each tomato half with the prepared mixture. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish or simply on a baking sheet. I lined mine with foil.

Step 8
Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Serve immediately. When removing the tomatoes from the baking sheet, handle carefully. Hot tomatoes are very delicate. I used two tablespoons. If you just use a fork, the hot tomatoes flip over and the filling falls out. Use the spoons like tongs.
