CHERRY TOMATOES STUFFED WITH PESTO



Cherry Tomatoes Stuffed With Pesto image

When I lived in Provence, I followed the local custom of setting a couple of pots of basil by my kitchen door to keep the flies away. I'm not sure why it works, but the essential oils in basil - which make this herb so heavenly, although apparently not to flies - have been shown to have anti-bacterial properties. A few studies have shown that the oils can inhibit some pathogenic bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics. Basil also contains flavonoids that are believed to have some antioxidant properties; it's an excellent source of vitamin K, and a very good source of iron, calcium and vitamin A. I've been serving these appetizers for decades. You can also make a warm side dish with medium-size tomatoes (see variation below).

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield Serves 12 as an hors d'oeuvre, six to eight as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 or 2 garlic cloves, to taste
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds or Mediterranean pine nuts
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan
1 pint cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • To make the pesto, turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic. When it is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add the basil, pumpkin seeds or pine nuts, salt, pepper and olive oil to the food processor, and process until smooth and creamy. Add the Parmesan, and pulse until well combined. You can also use a mortar and pestle. Add the basil leaves gradually, and mash with the pestle. Add the pumpkin seeds or pine nuts, garlic, salt and pepper. Mash to a paste with the basil. Work in the olive oil and the Parmesan.
  • Using a paring knife, cut thin slices from the tops of the cherry tomatoes. Use a grapefruit spoon or small spoon to scoop the seeds and flesh from the center of each tomato. Lightly salt the hollowed out tomatoes if desired, and place them, cut side down, on a rack to drain for 15 minutes. Fill with the pesto, arrange on a platter and serve. Refrigerate or freeze any excess pesto.

PESTO STUFFED TOMATOES



Pesto Stuffed Tomatoes image

A simple yet effective side dish that covers vegetables, carbohydrates and dairy in one dish. Plus it tastes superb! British tomatoes are fairly small but I've designed the filling to fit medium to large tomatoes, but not as large as beef tomatoes. Adjust the amount of filling depending on the size of tomato you have (any leftover filling makes a yummy snack!)

Provided by Shuzbud

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 50m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium to large tomatoes
1/2 cup long grain white rice, uncooked
1 cup hot water
3 1/2 tablespoons basil pesto
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon very finely grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese, plus
1/8 cup grated mozzarella cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (the lower temperature helps to stop the tomatoes from splitting).
  • Cook the rice in the hot water, simmering over a low heat in a covered pan for around 20 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, slice the tops off the tomatoes, just enough to reveal the seeds. Also cut a fine slice from the bottom of each tomato, so they can stand up straight but not enough to leave a hole.
  • Scoop the core and seeds out of each tomato to leave a shell, being careful to leave the base of the tomato intact.
  • When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the heat.
  • Add the pesto sauce, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of the grated mozzarella cheese. Stir to mix well.
  • Spoon the mixture carefully into each tomato shell, until level with the top of the tomato, pressing down with the spoon so the filling is firmly packed in.
  • Place the other 1/8 cup of grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the filled tomatoes.
  • Bake on a baking tray lined with foil for around 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened and the mozzarella is just turning golden.
  • Enjoy!
