- To make the sauce, add the tomatoes to the saucepan containing the flesh from the beef tomatoes, then add the oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- To serve, place the stuffed tomatoes onto a large serving platter and drizzle around the sauce.
