Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup Arborio rice (or other short-grain white rice)
6 ripe but firm large tomatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Cook the rice in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, stirring periodically, until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain. Rinse the rice under cold running water. Set the rice aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut a 1/2-inch thick slice off the top of each tomato; reserve the tomato tops. Cut and scoop the seeds, pulp, and juice from each tomato into a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the tomato juice and pulp.
  • Oil the bottom of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Place the hollowed tomatoes in the prepared dish.
  • Toss the rice with the reserved tomato juice and pulp. Add garlic, basil, parsley, Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine well.
  • Spoon the rice mixture into the hollowed tomatoes, mounding slightly. Sprinkle leftover stuffing on the bottom of the pan. Drizzle entire dish with olive oil. Place the reserved tomato slices atop the tomatoes. Bake until the rice is heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

TOMATO RICE WITH CRISPY CHEDDAR



Tomato Rice With Crispy Cheddar image

I could use all sorts of fancy words to explain this dish, but the best description is this: pizza in rice form. The inspiration for the recipe, though, is oddly enough not Italian - it's a hybrid of a classic South Indian tomato rice with onions and a shockingly fantastic Spanish rice recipe my mom and I photocopied out of my seventh-grade Spanish textbook for a school project. The crispy, bubbly, broiled Cheddar topping (use the sharpest white Cheddar you can find!) adds a little something something, making it a worthy dinner party dish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 small Indian green chile or Serrano chile, finely chopped
10 plum tomatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch pieces, or 1 (28-ounce) can whole or diced tomatoes, strained
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups cooked basmati rice (from about 1 cup dry rice)
1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and heat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and chile, spread them out in an even layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and starts to lightly char, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes, using the back of a wooden spoon to lightly crush them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the salt and remove from heat.
  • Stir in the cooked rice and transfer to an 8-inch square (or similar size) baking dish. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top in an even layer.
  • Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish on the oven rack closest to the broiler. Broil until the top bubbles and turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

MY MOTHER'S SHEPHERD'S PIE



My Mother's Shepherd's Pie image

Geoffrey Zakarian ate this dish often as a kid, but he didn't know it as shepherd's pie, just as a tasty use of leftovers. "My mom, Viola, served it whenever there was extra meat," he says. "It's the best comfort food." The recipe is easy to adjust based on what you have: You can substitute ground beef or turkey for the lamb or swap the potato for cauliflower or turnip purée.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 pounds russet potatoes
Kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large egg yolks
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup pearl onions (fresh or frozen), peeled
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, minced
2 pounds ground lamb
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes into a 1-inch dice. Put in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Season the water with salt and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pass through a ricer. Add the milk, sour cream, melted butter and egg yolks to the potatoes and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and reserve.
  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the pearl onions and cook, shaking the pan occasionally so the onions brown on all sides, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large shallow ovenproof braising pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until the onions are slightly browned and soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the lamb is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste, flour and sherry vinegar and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the chicken stock, peas and carrots and pearl onions and bring to a boil. Spoon off any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
  • Top the lamb mixture with an even layer of the potatoes. For the topping: Drizzle the potatoes with the melted butter and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Transfer to the oven and bake until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley.

RICE AND TOMATO PIE



Rice and Tomato Pie image

Last weekend at an antique auction, I bought a maple cookbook stand full of vintage cookbooks. The books start in the mid 1930's and chronicle the owner's interest in American foods. One of the few exemptions is the "Sherlock Holmes Cookbook". The publishing date is not given, but it was gifted to the owner in 1979. The book uses the fictional characters - Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and Mrs. Hudson to recapture the charm of the 1890's in London. This was a typical lunch dish that Mrs. Hudson would have served to Detective Holmes and Dr. Watson. Posted in response to "Vintage/Heritage/Older Cookbooks ... post your recipes!".
