This super-simple riff on Greek tyrokafteri—a salty, spicy dip of roasted peppers and feta—is packed with bold, fresh flavors. Though the traditional recipe calls for puréeing the ingredients, here they're chopped to preserve their individual textures. Together, they form a loose filling for hollowed tomatoes, which bake until tender and lip-smackingly sweet.
Note: Look for tomatoes that are ripe, but not too ripe—they should be able to hold their shape during baking. They're best eaten warm, right out of the oven, although leftovers reheat nicely, too.
