Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, tops removed and reserved (like "hats"), insides scooped out and reserved
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 bunch scallions (6 to 8), coarsely chopped, green and white parts both
One 15.5-ounce can low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 generous cup spinach, coarsely chopped
1 generous cup arugula, coarsely chopped
8 leaves fresh basil
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

TOMATOES STUFFED WITH BULGUR AND HERBS



Tomatoes Stuffed With Bulgur and Herbs image

These stuffed tomatoes make a great summer dish. You can serve them either warm or at room temperature. I like using bulgur for stuffed vegetables, because it's light and softens quickly.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup medium or coarse bulgur
Salt to taste
6 medium-size, ripe but firm tomatoes
1/2 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, mint, chives, chervil and basil
1/4 cup lightly toasted pine nuts
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup thickened yogurt or thick Greek yogurt
1 or 2 cloves garlic (to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur in a bowl and add 1/4 teaspon salt. Mix together. Bring 1 cup water to a boil, and pour over the bulgur. Allow to sit for 30 minutes or until the bulgur is soft and fluffy. Transfer to a strainer and press out excess water. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice off the tops of the tomatoes, about 3/4 inch down from the stem (or far enough down that it will be easy for you to hollow them out). Using a teaspoon or a grapefruit spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds, taking care not to cut through the skins. Place in a strainer set above a bowl. Rub the seed pods against the strainer to extract the juice. Discard the seeds. Carefully scoop out the pulp, and chop fine.
  • Mix together the bulgur, herbs, garlic, pine nuts, the chopped tomato pulp, 1/4 cup of the strained juice and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Season the hollowed out tomatoes with salt and pepper. Fill each tomato with the bulgur filling (you may have some stuffing left over). Place in a baking dish that is small enough to fit the tomatoes snugly. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each one, and place the caps on top. Pour about 1/2 inch of water into the pan, and cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and uncover. Serve warm, or allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Puree the garlic with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle. Stir into the yogurt, along with the mint. Serve the stuffed tomatoes with a dollop of the yogurt.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tomatoes remain intact while cooking, choose firm and ripe ones.
  • Hollow out the tomatoes carefully to prevent tearing the skin. Use a sharp knife to make the cut and scoop out the pulp.
  • For a richer flavor, roast the tomatoes before stuffing them. This caramelizes the natural sugars and intensifies the taste.
  • Allow the stuffed tomatoes to cool slightly before serving. This helps the flavors to meld together.
  • Garnish the stuffed tomatoes with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, for an extra burst of flavor.

Conclusion:

Alouette Light Garlic & Herbs Stuffed Tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With their colorful appearance and delightful flavor, these stuffed tomatoes are sure to impress your guests.
