Preparation

1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Cut away and discard the core of each tomato. Cut tomatoes crosswise through the center. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Combine bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, olive oil and shallots in a small mixing bowl. Blend well.
4. Top each tomato half with an equal portion of the crumb mixture, pressing down with the fingers to distribute the topping evenly. Arrange tomato halves on a baking dish. Place them about 8 inches from the source of heat and let cook about 5 minutes.
