Tomato and Olive Stuffed Portobello Caps image

Per Eating Well, "Portobello caps make excellent mini casseroles. Here, they hold a tomato, cheese and olive stuffing that grills up to a smoky perfection. Serve them with whole-wheat couscous and a mixed green salad for an easy meal." This is a low calorie, vegetarian main dish. NOTE: after having made this delicious dish, I have made a couple changes to the original recipe. I served mine atop spinach.

JUICY TOMATOES WITH PARMESAN-OLIVE BREAD CRUMBS



Juicy Tomatoes With Parmesan-Olive Bread Crumbs image

This mouthwatering salad of ripe, juicy tomatoes is dressed with a quick, vinegary dressing and finished with cheesy, garlicky bread crumbs, which bring pizza flavors to this summery dish. The tomatoes are salted for seasoning, but also to make their sweet juices pool out, creating a saucy base. Made with a combination of Parmesan, olives, garlic, spices and citrus zest, the bread crumbs can be prepared one week in advance. (Store in an airtight container and "refresh" them by warming them in the oven or on a stove-top until crisp and fragrant. Make extra to go on caramelized zucchini pasta or even lemony shrimp and white bean stew) Serve the tomatoes as a grand appetizer, or as a light supper with grilled chicken or steak.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds ripe tomatoes (such as a mix of cherry, campari and heirloom varieties)
Salt and black pepper
5 ounces day-old country-style bread without crust
1 1/2 ounces thinly shaved or coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
3 ounces pitted green olives (such as Castelvetrano, picholine or Cerignola), roughly chopped
2 teaspoons finely grated orange or lemon zest (or a combination)
1 teaspoon fennel seeds or red-pepper flakes (or a combination)
2 garlic cloves
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Slice larger tomatoes into ½-inch rounds or wedges, and cut smaller tomatoes in half and spread out on a serving platter or individual plates. Season them generously with salt and also black pepper, if you'd like.
  • Tear the bread into small, 1-inch pieces, then pulse in a food processor until you have coarse crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, olives, zest, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, if using. Finely grate the garlic into the bowl then add 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss everything together very well.
  • Transfer the bread-crumb mixture to a sheet pan and place on a middle rack in the oven. Toast, stirring two or three times, until the crumbs are golden brown, the olives have shriveled slightly and your kitchen starts to smell a little like a pizzeria, 17 to 23 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • To serve, drizzle the tomatoes with the vinegar followed by the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Just before you're ready to serve, sprinkle the bread-crumb mixture over the top.

OLIVE-STUFFED FLANK STEAK



Olive-Stuffed Flank Steak image

A formal presentation makes this delicious combination of steak, olive stuffing, and tomato confit an option for a family holiday dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus about 2 tablespoons for cooking the steaks
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup dried currants
2 flank steaks, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Cherry Tomato Confit

Steps:

  • To make the stuffing: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook until aromatic, a few minutes more. Remove from the heat, and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the olives, herbs, pine nuts, and currants. Set aside to cool.
  • To prepare the flank steaks for stuffing; place one of the steaks on a work surface, cover it loosely with a piece of plastic wrap, and use a meat pounder to pound the steak until about 1/3 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, score the steak in a crisscross pattern, making 3 to 4 shallow cuts in each direction, being sure not to cut all the way through. Turn the steak over, and spread half the stuffing evenly over the unscored surface of the steak. Roll up the steak lengthwise, like a jelly roll. Using kitchen twine, tightly tie the steak to keep it securely rolled up. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining steak and stuffing.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pour about 2 tablespoons of oil into a large roasting pan. Place over two burners over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the steaks and sear on all sides, turning with tongs, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove steaks from pan, transfer to a plate, and set aside. Discard any fat in the pan and scrape out and discard any burned bits that may have escaped from the stuffing. Return the steaks to the pan, place in the oven, and roast, uncovered, for 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the steaks, and continue to roast until the internal temperature of the steaks reads between 120 degrees.and 130 degrees.on an instant-read thermometer, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and allow the steaks to rest for 5 to 8 minutes. Cut, and remove the twine. Transfer steaks to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut them into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Arrange the slices on a platter, and pour any accumulated pan juices over the top. Serve with tomato confit.
