Pesto Stuffed Tomatoes

"Hasselback or Stuffed Tomatoes with pesto is a low carb, healthy and vegetarian veggie recipe perfect for dinner tonight. Instead of calling this recipe stuffed tomatoes, you could also call them Hasselback Tomatoes. Hasselback refers to slicing the tomato into an accordion pattern, causing the tomato to fan out. This gives you so many crevices to stuff the pesto mixture in. In addition, you may notice that this pesto has no olive oil. In fact it is quite dry by design. When you broil a tomato, it leaches liquid. With that in mind, I wanted to keep my topping dry. Of course, eliminating oil also eliminated calories and fat."
