Time 35m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

9 small ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 garlic cloves
8 sprigs thyme
8 sprigs tarragon, plus 1 teaspoon minced
8 bay leaves
8 basil leaves
1 cup cooked couscous
8 chanterelle mushrooms, quartered and sauteed
1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
1 tablespoon peeled and finely diced cucumber
1 tablespoon corn kernels, sauteed
1 teaspoon chopped chives, plus 16 whole chives
1 teaspoon chopped mint

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Peel tomatoes. Mince one tomato and set aside. Cut a 3/4-inch slice from the bottom of the others, reserving these pieces to serve as lids. Scoop out seeds and center flesh. Rub the insides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; place a garlic clove, a sprig of thyme, a sprig of tarragon, a bay leaf and a basil leaf into each. Put the lids on and bake until they begin to soften, but still maintain their shape, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and discard garlic and herbs.
  • In a double boiler, warm the couscous. Add the minced tomato, chanterelles, pine nuts, cucumber and corn and stir. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, the chopped chives, the minced tarragon and mint and stir. Spoon into the tomatoes, reheat in the oven and serve two to a plate garnished with whole chives.

This recipe is vegetarian, but you could easily add some cooked chicken or sausage if you wanted to make it a meat dish.

I'm allergic to pine nuts, so I used chopped walnuts instead.

I didn't have any chanterelles, so I used shiitake mushrooms instead. They worked just as well.

I think I might have overcooked the tomatoes. They were a little too soft for my liking.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The tomatoes were too watery and the couscous was bland.

The roasted tomatoes are the perfect vessel for the couscous and chanterelles. They're soft and juicy, and they add a delicious sweetness to the dish.
