What can you stuff in a tomato?

They range from simple combinations like seasonings and cheese to more complex creations utilizing robust ingredients like chorizo and farro.

For a simple stuffed tomato starter, try mixing together fresh herbs from your garden with ricotta or feta cheese and spooning the mixture into a ripe garden or market-fresh tomatoe.

For an elegant spin on stuffed tomatoes, use any combination of finely cubed vegetables, chicken, or ground beef along with wild rice or quinoa for added crunch.

Whether stuffed with the simplest of ingredients or something more creative, stuffed tomatoes bring an extra level of flavor to the plate that will make any meal unforgettable.

How do you hollow out tomatoes?

Cooking stuffed tomatoes is an exciting way to enjoy the delectable flavors of tomatoes. To prepare stuffed tomatoes, you need to hollow out the tomato and discard the seeds. This can be achieved by using a paring knife and cutting off the top of each tomato, creating a near-perfect circle opening. Ensure that you cut shallowly so as not to tear through the other side of the tomato.

Once done, you can use a spoon or your fingers to scoop out any remaining flesh and seeds from the center. With your hollowed tomatoes prepared, you can now fill them with your desired stuffing – herbs, rice, vegetables, or even cheese before baking them in the oven until golden brown.
