Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl soak tomatoes in hot water to cover 5 minutes. Reserving 1 tablespoon soaking liquid, drain tomatoes well and chop fine. In a small skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook chopped mushrooms stems and shallots, stirring until shallots are softened. In a bowl stir together mushrooms mixture, bread crumbs, tomatoes, reserved soaking liquid, yolk, parsley, basil, and salt to taste. Mound stuffing in reserved mushroom caps and arrange caps in a lightly greased shallow baking dish. Sprinkle mushrooms with Parmesan and bake in middle of oven 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are ideal for stuffing because they are firm and hold their shape well. You can also use other varieties of tomatoes, such as beefsteak or plum tomatoes, but they may need to be cooked for a longer period of time.
- Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms have a more intense flavor than dried mushrooms. If you are using dried mushrooms, be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Sauté the mushrooms and onions: Sautéing the mushrooms and onions in butter or olive oil will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will add flavor to the stuffing. Some good options include parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and salt and pepper.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes: Tomatoes can easily become overcooked and mushy. Cook them until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Croatian mushroom stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The tomatoes are stuffed with a savory mixture of mushrooms, onions, herbs, and spices, and then baked until tender. These stuffed tomatoes can be served as a main course or as a side dish. They are also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes.
