FRESH HERB STUFFED TOMATOES



Fresh Herb Stuffed Tomatoes image

Found this recipe in AllYou Magazine Sept 2008. Really can't mess this recipe up. I love using Campenelle tomatoes but if they are not available try finding Tomatillo tomatoes. Both of these are sturdy tomatoes that hold up well to stuffing/fillings and give you a good 2-3 bite appetizer.

Time 1h

Yield 8 appetizers, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tomatoes (Campenelle or Tomatillo would work best)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fresh bread, crumbs
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup tomato juice (saved from tomatoes above)
1 large egg, beaten
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a 9x13" baking dish.
  • Cut tops off tomatoes and spoon out the flesh. Place flesh in a sieve and press down lightly to retain juices (you will need 1/4 cup of juice total). Blot insides of tomatoes with a towel to remove excess juices. Season insides with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter with 2 tbs of the olive oil in a skillet over LOW heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in bread crumbs, herbs and Parmesan. Stir in reserved 1/4 cup tomato juices and then the egg.
  • Stuff tomatoes with breadcrumb mixture. Place tomatoes in prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  • Drizzle with remaining 2 tbs of olive oil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until topping is browned and crisp.
  • Serve immediately while hot/warm.

HERB STUFFED TOMATOES

Categories     Tomato     Side     Bake

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 beefsteak tomatoes
1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
3/4 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
1 cup grated provolone
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon butter, softened
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the tomatoes in half, horizontally. Use a small spoon to gently hollow out the inside of the tomatoes, discarding the seeds and reserving the pulp and being careful not to puncture the outer shell. Chop the reserved pulp and put in a medium bowl. Add the parsley, bread crumbs, cheese, and pepper and mix gently to combine. Place the tomato halves in a buttered casserole dish, and fill with the bread crumb mixture. Drizzle the top of the tomatoes with olive oil. Bake until the tops are browned, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe tomatoes for stuffing. Roma or plum tomatoes are good choices.
  • Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the core of the tomatoes, leaving a hollow center.
  • Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the tomatoes.
  • Use a variety of herbs for the stuffing, such as basil, parsley, thyme, and oregano.
  • Add some grated cheese, bread crumbs, or cooked rice to the stuffing for extra flavor and texture.
  • Bake the stuffed tomatoes in a preheated oven until they are tender and the stuffing is cooked through.
  • Serve the stuffed tomatoes with a side of your favorite sauce or dressing.

Conclusion:

Herb-stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. With a variety of herbs and fillings to choose from, you can customize the stuffed tomatoes to your liking. Whether you serve them as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, herb-stuffed tomatoes are sure to be a hit.
