TOMATOES STUFFED WITH SAUSAGE

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 medium-size red ripe tomatoes, about 3 pounds
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups finely chopped onions
5 teaspoons finely minced garlic
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 pound bulk sausage
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1 egg yolk
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Cut away and discard the core of each tomato. Cut off and reserve a thin slice from the bottom of each. Using a melon-ball scoop or small spoon, hollow out the center of each tomato, leaving a shell. Reserve the scooped-out portion. There should be about 1 1/2 cups.
  • Clean and finely chop the mushrooms. There should be about 2 cups.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy skillet, and add 1 cup of the onions and 3 teaspoons of the garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, until onions are wilted. Add the mushrooms, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Continue cooking, stirring, until the liquid evaporates.
  • Spoon and scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl, and let cool slightly. Add the sausage, bread crumbs, parsley, egg yolk, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly.
  • Fill each tomato with an equal portion of the mixture, piling it up as necessary and smoothing it over. Top each tomato with the reserved rounds sliced from the bottom of each tomato.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a saucepan, and add the remaining 1 cup of onions and 2 teaspoons garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the thyme, bay leaf and the reserved scooped-out tomato, with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes.
  • Spoon the mixture into a baking dish large enough to hold the tomatoes in one layer. Arrange the tomatoes bottom-side-down over the sauce. Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Place in the oven, and bake 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaf, and serve with sauce spooned over.

SAUSAGE-AND-BASIL-STUFFED TOMATOES



Sausage-and-Basil-Stuffed Tomatoes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 medium tomatoes, preferably with stems intact
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3/4 pound luganega or sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1/2 large onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced, plus a handful of celery leaves
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 cups bread cubes (from about 1/2 baguette)
1 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a serrated knife, slice off the top quarter of each tomato and reserve the tops. Scoop out the pulp from inside each tomato and transfer it to a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cayenne to the food processor and process until smooth; pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, herbes de Provence, bell pepper, onion, diced celery and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the sausage browns, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage mixture and bread cubes to the food processor and pulse until chopped. Pack the tomatoes with the sausage-bread mixture so the stuffing is domed on top. Put the stuffed tomatoes in the baking dish on top of the sauce.
  • Place the basil, walnuts, cheese and celery leaves in the food processor and chop. Sprinkle onto the tomatoes. Put the tomato tops, cut-side down, between the stuffed tomatoes. Bake until the stuffing is golden, about 20 minutes. Cover each tomato with a top and serve with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use firm, ripe tomatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly. Avoid tomatoes that are too soft or have blemishes.
  • Scoop out the tomato flesh carefully: Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch thick shell. Be careful not to pierce the tomato skin.
  • Season the sausage filling generously: Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the sausage filling, such as garlic, onion, paprika, and thyme. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
  • Cook the sausage filling thoroughly: Brown the sausage filling in a skillet over medium heat until it is cooked through. This will help to prevent the tomatoes from becoming watery.
  • Stuff the tomatoes tightly: Pack the sausage filling tightly into the tomato shells. This will help to keep the tomatoes from falling apart during baking.
  • Bake the tomatoes until they are tender: Bake the tomatoes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender and the sausage filling is cooked through.
