Cut a thin slice from top of each tomato. Leaving a 1/2" thick shell,
scoop out pulp and discard. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to
drain. Meanwhile, in a skillet, melt 4 tb butter over medium-high
heat. Saute carrot, radishes, green onions, cucumber, peas, parsley,
oregano, garlic, and salt until the vegetables are tender. Stuff
tomatoes and place in a greased shallow baking dish. Melt remaining
butter; stir in Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and sugar. Sprinkle
over tomatoes. Bake, uncovered at 400 F for 20 minutes or until
crumbs are lightly browned.
