STUFFED TOMATOES

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 vine-ripened tomatoes
Salt
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice tomatoes in half horizontally and scoop out pulp and seeds. Salt insides and rest upside down on a sheet pan lined with a wire rack to extract juices, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together bread crumbs, garlic, basil, pepper, 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan and oil. Stuff tomatoes with the filling, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, and bake until tomatoes are cooked through and tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe tomatillos. Look for tomatillos that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. The tomatillos should also be firm to the touch.
  • Prepare the tomatillos properly. Before stuffing the tomatillos, you need to remove the husks and rinse them well. You can also remove the seeds if you prefer, but this is not necessary.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to stuffing tomatillos. You can use ground beef, pork, chicken, or turkey. You can also use a vegetarian filling, such as black beans, corn, or rice.
  • Season the filling well. Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices when seasoning the filling. This will help to give the tomatillos a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the tomatillos until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of filling you are using. However, the tomatillos should be cooked until they are soft and tender.
