CORN STUFFED TOMATOES



CORN STUFFED TOMATOES image

Categories     Tomato     Side     No-Cook

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Fresh corn kernels (about 2 1/2 ears)
1 cup cooked jasmine rice, cooled to room temperature
1/2 avocado, chopped
1/4 cup yellow pepper, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
4 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
6 medium vine 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.
