TOMATOES STUFFED WITH BULGUR AND HERBS



Tomatoes Stuffed With Bulgur and Herbs image

These stuffed tomatoes make a great summer dish. You can serve them either warm or at room temperature. I like using bulgur for stuffed vegetables, because it's light and softens quickly.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup medium or coarse bulgur
Salt to taste
6 medium-size, ripe but firm tomatoes
1/2 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, mint, chives, chervil and basil
1/4 cup lightly toasted pine nuts
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup thickened yogurt or thick Greek yogurt
1 or 2 cloves garlic (to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur in a bowl and add 1/4 teaspon salt. Mix together. Bring 1 cup water to a boil, and pour over the bulgur. Allow to sit for 30 minutes or until the bulgur is soft and fluffy. Transfer to a strainer and press out excess water. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice off the tops of the tomatoes, about 3/4 inch down from the stem (or far enough down that it will be easy for you to hollow them out). Using a teaspoon or a grapefruit spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds, taking care not to cut through the skins. Place in a strainer set above a bowl. Rub the seed pods against the strainer to extract the juice. Discard the seeds. Carefully scoop out the pulp, and chop fine.
  • Mix together the bulgur, herbs, garlic, pine nuts, the chopped tomato pulp, 1/4 cup of the strained juice and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Season the hollowed out tomatoes with salt and pepper. Fill each tomato with the bulgur filling (you may have some stuffing left over). Place in a baking dish that is small enough to fit the tomatoes snugly. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each one, and place the caps on top. Pour about 1/2 inch of water into the pan, and cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and uncover. Serve warm, or allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Puree the garlic with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle. Stir into the yogurt, along with the mint. Serve the stuffed tomatoes with a dollop of the yogurt.

TOMATOES WITH CHICKEN STUFFING



Tomatoes With Chicken Stuffing image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, roasts, main course

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 very ripe tomatoes, about 2 1/2 pounds
3 slices bread
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium-size onion)
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed and chopped garlic (2 to 3 cloves)
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups diced leftover chicken (other meat may be used)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Dash cayenne pepper
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut off the very top of the tomatoes at the stem end to create a 1/4-inch lid. Set aside. With a measuring spoon, scoop out the insides of the tomatoes and place in a bowl. Gently squeeze the tomatoes to loosen any remaining juice and seeds and add to the contents of the bowl. Coarsely chop or process the juice, seeds and pulp briefly in a food processor and set aside for use in the sauce. There should be about 2 cups.
  • To make the stuffing, mix the bread and milk together in a bowl, mashing the bread with your fingers to help it absorb the milk. Stir in the egg, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the onion, chopped garlic, chives and leftover chicken; mix gently to combine. Stuff the tomatoes evenly with the stuffing mixture, mounding it on top. Set the little lids on top of each filled tomato.
  • To make the tomato sauce, pour the reserved chopped tomato mixture into a gratin dish. Stir in the olive oil, sliced garlic, sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, cayenne, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and water.
  • Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on top of the sauce and put in oven about 1 hour, until tender and cooked through. Serve immediately, or set aside and serve later at room temperature.
