Tomato Olive Stuffing Recipes

STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and use a knife to cut around the inside, separating the flesh from the skin. Scoop out the flesh. Place the tomatoes in a small baking dish. In a small bowl combine the canned tomatoes with the bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of cheese and the sausage; mix well. Spoon the mixture into the tomato skins and top with the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

TOMATO-&-OLIVE-STUFFED PORTOBELLO CAPS

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, cheese, olives, garlic, 1 teaspoon oil, rosemary and pepper in a small bowl.
• Preheat grill to medium.
• Discard mushroom stems. Remove brown gills from the undersides of the caps using a spoon; discard gills. Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, lemon juice and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over both sides of the caps.
• Oil a grill rack (see Tip). Place the caps on the rack, stem sides down, cover and grill until soft, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and fill with the tomato mixture. Return to the grill, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more.

ROASTED PORTOBELLO CAPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Place mushroom caps, gill-side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, oil, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and top each cap with about 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumb mixture, spreading evenly. Return to the oven and roast until the breadcrumbs are browned, about 5 minutes.

VEAL-STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. For the stuffing, mix all of the ingredients together. Season with salt and lots of black pepper. You can fry a little bit of the mixture to check the seasoning.
• Cut the tops off the tomatoes and reserve. Hollow out, discarding the seeds and put the tomatoes in a baking dish on top of the scattered tarragon sprigs and basil leaves. Lightly season the insides with salt, and stuff with the filling. Perch the tops of the tomatoes back on. Season with salt, drizzle with olive oil and add the wine to the dish.
• Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes: after 15 minutes, add the crème fraîche. Roast until the tomatoes are soft and the stuffing is cooked. Serve with the juices from the dish and some toast if you like.

TOMATO BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender; stir in flour until blended. Add the tomatoes, sugar, oil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in toast cubes.

TOMATO-OLIVE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in middle and lower thirds. On 2 rimmed baking sheets, arrange bread in a single layer. Toast until dry and pale golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onion and celery are softened, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives, rosemary, and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Add parsley, eggs, and bread; stir to combine. Add broth in 2 additions, stirring until absorbed after each addition. Season generously with salt and pepper and transfer stuffing to dish. Bake on middle rack until deep golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
