Wrap garlic cloves in foil and bake 30 minutes, until soft. Gently squeeze cloves to remove pulp. Slice or mash garlic and set aside. In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, bring vinegar, thyme, sugar, and salt to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Cut 1/2-inch from the top of each tomato. Using a spoon or melon baller, hollow out tomatoes, reserving ribs and discarding seeds. Lightly salt tomato cavities. Dice tomato tops and ribs, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add rice and drizzle vinegar mixture over top. Gently stir in garlic, oil, olives, and salt. Lightly spray or oil an 8-inch square baking dish. Fill each tomato with 1/4 of rice mixture and place in prepared dish. Drizzle 1 or 2 teaspoons olive oil over top, if desired. Bake for 20 minutes, until tops begin to brown. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 94 Calories; 7g Fat (63.7% calories from fat); 1g Protein; 8g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 0mg Cholesterol; 278mg Sodium.
