SAUSAGE-AND-BASIL-STUFFED TOMATOES



Sausage-and-Basil-Stuffed Tomatoes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 medium tomatoes, preferably with stems intact
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3/4 pound luganega or sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1/2 large onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced, plus a handful of celery leaves
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 cups bread cubes (from about 1/2 baguette)
1 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a serrated knife, slice off the top quarter of each tomato and reserve the tops. Scoop out the pulp from inside each tomato and transfer it to a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cayenne to the food processor and process until smooth; pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, herbes de Provence, bell pepper, onion, diced celery and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the sausage browns, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage mixture and bread cubes to the food processor and pulse until chopped. Pack the tomatoes with the sausage-bread mixture so the stuffing is domed on top. Put the stuffed tomatoes in the baking dish on top of the sauce.
  • Place the basil, walnuts, cheese and celery leaves in the food processor and chop. Sprinkle onto the tomatoes. Put the tomato tops, cut-side down, between the stuffed tomatoes. Bake until the stuffing is golden, about 20 minutes. Cover each tomato with a top and serve with the sauce.

ORZO WITH SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND TOMATOES



Orzo with Sausage, Peppers and Tomatoes image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 red bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 pound orzo pasta
3 cups chicken stock
3 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
7 ounces (2 links) mild Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 clove garlic, minced
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup ricotta salata cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Using tongs, place the bell peppers over a gas flame. Cook, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred on all sides, about 5 to 6 minutes. (Alternatively, place the peppers on a baking sheet and broil for 5 to 8 minutes, until charred.) Place the charred peppers in a medium bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the peppers to steam for 20 minutes. Under running water, peel away the charred skin from the peppers. Pat the peppers dry with paper towels. Remove the stem and seeds from the peppers and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock, water, and kosher salt to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While the pasta is cooking: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey sausage and saute until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the bell peppers, tomatoes, and red pepper flakes, if using, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the sausage mixture, 1 tablespoon of the parsley, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well to combine all ingredients, adding reserved cooking liquid, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Top with the ricotta salata and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve.

Provided by JC in Texas

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large tomatoes (Save the pulp)
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut four large tomatoes in half.
  • Scoop out pulp from each tomato half, leaving shells intact; discard seeds, and then coarsely chop pulp.
  • In medium bowl, stir together tomato pulp, 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs; 2 tablespoons chopped green onions; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley; and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Spoon mixture evenly into tomato shells, and place in a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Garnish with Italian parsley sprigs.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, firm tomatoes: Choose tomatoes that are slightly firm to the touch, with no soft spots or blemishes. This ensures that they can hold their shape during cooking.
  • Hollow out the tomatoes carefully: Use a sharp knife to cut a circular lid off the top of each tomato. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the pulp and seeds, leaving a hollow shell. Be careful not to puncture the sides of the tomatoes.
  • Season the tomato shells: Before filling them, sprinkle the inside of the tomatoes with salt and pepper. This helps to enhance the flavor of the filling.
  • Use a flavorful filling: The filling for stuffed tomatoes can be varied according to your preference. However, some common ingredients include cooked sausage, feta cheese, rice, vegetables, and herbs. Be sure to season the filling well.
  • Pack the filling tightly: When filling the tomatoes, pack the filling in tightly to prevent it from falling out during cooking. You can also use a toothpick to secure the lid on each tomato.
  • Bake the tomatoes at a moderate temperature: Stuffed tomatoes should be baked at a moderate temperature (around 350°F or 175°C) for about 30-40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is heated through.
  • Garnish before serving: Before serving, garnish the stuffed tomatoes with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
