Best Vegetable Stuffed Tomatoes Recipes

VEGETABLE STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• 1 Cut the tops off each tomato, allowing enough room for you to scoop out the seeds. Scoop out the flesh and seeds of each tomato using a grapefruit scooper or a teaspoon. Season the inside of the hollowed out tomato shells with salt, and put them upside down on a tray lined with paper towel, or on a large colander in your sink, to drain (they will need about 30 minutes). 2 In the meantime, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan. Add the minced onion, celery and garlic, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the cubed vegetables, and cook on high heat, stirring, for 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper, lower the heat, cover, and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, heat 2 more tablespoons olive oil and cook the bread cubes in it until golden. Combine the bread (and cheese, if using) with the vegetable ratatouille. The mix should feel moist; otherwise you can add a couple tablespoons of vegetable stock. 3 Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the tomato shells in it. Stuff the shell with the ratatouille and bread mix, top with olives, and drizzle or brush with a little more olive oil, if preferred. Bake for about 25-30 minute in a pre-heated 400˚F oven.

ROASTED TOMATOES STUFFED WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To form the tomato shells, with a serrated knife, slice off the tops of the tomatoes and remove their cores. Using your index finger, remove and discard the seeds. Then, using a melon baller or a spoon, scoop out the pulp, transferring the juices and pulp to a small bowl. Using your hands, squish the pulp and seeds until smooth but slightly chunky. Set aside and wash your hands.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the corn and zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the tomato mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has been absorbed into the vegetable mixture and the skillet is dry, 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Place the goat cheese in a bowl. Add the vegetable mixture and chopped herbs. Stir until smooth and well-combined. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the tomato shells, cut-side up, in a small casserole dish. Spoon some filling (about 1/3 cup, depending on the size of the tomato) into each tomato. Sprinkle the chips over the filling.
• Bake until the filling is heated through, the tomato shells are tender, and the topping is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
