CREOLE STUFFED TOMATOES



Creole Stuffed Tomatoes image

One of my hobbies is cooking and trying out different foods. This recipe is something I created years ago and have made many times since.

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Side Dishes

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 to 8 large tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cooked long grain rice
1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 pound cooked small shrimp
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato; scoop out the discard pulp. Sprinkle salt inside the tomatoes; invert on paper towels to drain. In a large bowl, combine the rice, bacon, cheese, onion, parsley, egg and pepper. Fold in shrimp. Spoon into tomatoes. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use firm, ripe tomatoes that are about the same size. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are firm and have a mild flavor.
  • Stuff the tomatoes carefully: Use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out the pulp from the tomatoes. Be careful not to break the tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and oregano, will add a lot of flavor to your stuffed tomatoes. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Serve immediately: Stuffed tomatoes are best served immediately after they are made. The tomatoes will start to soften and break down if they are left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer party or a light lunch. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give stuffed tomatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
