served this to my future husband when we were both
living in a o-op apt downtown. Another neighbour had
been bringing him brownies, gave him my stuffed
tomatoes. Fortunately, my husband wasn't (and) sn't a
dessert lover, he preferred my tomatoes! e flavour of
anchovies is not evident in this recipe and ven
'anchovy haters' will enjoy it. Source: Mom
