Ingredients
- 3 tomato 3 ripe tomatoes
- 2 tsps butter 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, unsalted
- 0.5 ounces pea 1/2 ( 5 to 6 ounce) package frozen peas
- 0.5 ounces corn 1/2 package (5 to 6 ounces) frozen corn
- 0.25 tsp sugar 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 tsp black pepper 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper, ground
- 1 tsp lime 1 teaspoon grated rind of lime
- 1 lime juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and using a metal measuring spoon (the regular spoons have sharp edges), hollow them out, leaving a wall about ¼” thick. Arrange the tomatoes on a baking tray, hollow side up. I like to sprinkle some additional salt and fresh ground pepper at this point in the cavity of the tomatoes. Place them in a 180° oven for 10-15 minutes, just long enough to warm them through.
- Heat the butter in a medium saucepan. When is hot, add the peas, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the lime rind and the juice, toss to mix well and spoon the peas into the tomatoes cups.
- Serve immediately.
