Baked Stuffed Tomatoes
Description
This recipe begins with medium tomatoes whose tops are cut off and interiors removed. After seasoning the tomato insides and draining excess liquid, a filling is prepared by chopping parsley, garlic, and ham, and combining this with sausage meat, bread chunks, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
The buttered baking dish holds the stuffed tomatoes topped with their caps and baked at 400°F for 30 to 45 minutes, allowing the filling to cook through and the tomato to soften without losing structure. The mixture inside blends savory, herbaceous, and slightly tangy flavors.
The dish requires standing time after baking to let the filling settle. This approach produces juicy tomatoes filled with a rich, juicy stuffing good for serving as a hearty appetizer or accompaniment to other dishes.
Ingredients
- 4 tomato medium size
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 shallot
- 3 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley Italian
- 4 lices ham cooked
- 2 lices white bread crust removed and cut into rough pieces
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ pound sausage meat
- salt
- black pepper
- butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F
- Cut the cap of the tomatoes off about 1 inch from the stem and set aside.
- Remove all the seeds and interior membranes from the tomatoes and set aside in a bowl. Season the interior of your tomatoes with salt and turn them over on a cookie cooling rack to allow more water to be disposed of.
- Meanwhile, in the food processor, chop the parsley, garlic, and ham.
- Add to your bowl with the tomato seedling, the white breach chunks, and the sausage meat. Mix well and add the chopped parsley, garlic, and ham to the bowl. Season with pepper and salt and add Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to obtain a homogenous stuffing.
- Butter an oven-proof dish. Fill the cavity of your tomatoes with the stuffing and add a bit more to overflow a bit, and place in the buttered dish.
- Place the cap over your tomatoes and place them in the hot oven for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of your tomatoes.
- Let it sit for a few minutes before eating as the content will be quite warm.
