4 large tomatoes
1 1/2 cup (375 mL) Canadian Cottage cheese
1/3 cup (75 mL) Canadian Cream cheese
1/3 cup (75 mL) toasted slivered almonds
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh basil
1 tsp (5 mL) ground cumin
3 tbsp (45 mL) chopped red bell pepper

Lightly coat almonds with olive oil and toast in oven at 350 °F (180 °C), for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden.
