Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ears corn, with husks
4 beefsteak tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grates
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup crumbled soft goat cheese
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)

Steps:

  • Pull back corn husks, leaving them attached at base of ear. Remove and discard silk; pull husks back over corn. Place ears in large bowl; cover with cold water. Let soak 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut off and discard top third of tomatoes. Using a paring knife, cut around wall of tomato to loosen flesh. Gently squeeze out seeds; discard. With a melon baller, scoop out tomato interiors, leaving the wall intact. Coarsely chop interiors; transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Drain corn; arrange ears on grill. Cover and cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until husks are slightly charred and corn is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove ears from grill. Holding bottom of hot ears with a towel, peel back husks and cut kernels off cob; transfer to bowl with tomatoes.
  • Add scallions, all but 2 tablespoons goat cheese, vinegar, and oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Spoon filling into hollowed tomatoes; sprinkle with remaining goat cheese and, if desired, bacon.

YELLOW TOMATOES STUFFED WITH GRILLED WILD MUSHROOMS AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sliced oyster, shiitake, or portobello mushrooms (domestic or imported)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
4 perfectly ripe yellow (or red) medium-size beefsteak tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 handful mixed baby greens
Sweet Shallot Vinaigrette

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the mushrooms with the olive oil, shallots, rosemary, and thyme; let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Light a fire in a charcoal or gas grill. Using tongs, remove the mushrooms from the marinade and grill until slightly softened and browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Set them aside. (You can also complete this step ahead of time, refrigerate the mushrooms, and then bring them to room temperature when you're ready to stuff the tomatoes.)
  • Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes so that you can use them to serve your salad in. Preheat the oven to 325° F. Using a sharp knife, slice the tops off the tomatoes either flat or in a zigzag pattern; you need them later so don't discard them. Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the insides. (You may want to save the insides for a sauce or another salad.) Set aside. Place the tomatoes into a 1-inch baking pan (you may have to adjust the bottoms-cutting carefully and only slightly-if they can't sit upright), with their tops. Bake until the skins start to wrinkle, about 15 minutes.
  • When the tomatoes are finished, remove the tops and stuff with alternate layers of the mushroom mixture and the cheese. Place the tomatoes back into the oven (without the tops) just until the cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes.
  • Top each tomato with a bit of the mixed baby greens and a drizzle of the vinaigrette. Cover with the tomato tops, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: This will ensure that they can hold their shape on the grill and not fall apart.
  • Use a variety of fillings: This will make your stuffed tomatoes more flavorful and interesting. Some popular fillings include rice, ground beef, sausage, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Season the filling well: This will help to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes.
  • Grill the tomatoes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the tomatoes until they are tender: This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the tomatoes hot or warm: They can be eaten on their own or with a side of rice or salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. They can be made with a variety of fillings, so you can customize them to your own taste. And because they are cooked on the grill, they have a smoky flavor that is sure to please everyone.

So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled stuffed tomatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
