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.

The tomatoes were a bit too acidic for my taste, but the stuffing was good. I think I'll try using a different type of tomato next time.

This dish was a disappointment. The tomatoes were undercooked and the stuffing was dry. I won't be making this again.
