CORN STUFFED TOMATOES
Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, toss all ingredients together, except tomatoes, and set aside. Slice tops off tomatoes and remove insides. 2. Fill each tomato with 1/2 cup corn rice mixture and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are fully red and have no blemishes or bruises. They should be firm to the touch, but not too hard.
- Hollow out the tomatoes carefully: Use a sharp knife to carefully cut out the core of the tomatoes. Be careful not to cut through the skin.
- Don't overcook the corn: The corn should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a bit of a crunch. Overcooked corn will be mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to corn, you can also add other vegetables to the stuffing, such as bell peppers, onions, zucchini, or mushrooms.
- Season the stuffing to taste: Be sure to season the stuffing with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to your liking.
- Bake the tomatoes until they are tender: The tomatoes should be baked until they are tender and the stuffing is heated through. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Corn-stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make summer dish. They are perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as a side dish. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your corn-stuffed tomatoes turn out perfect every time.
