My tomatoes plants look good this year. I planted 4 hybrid Celebrity, 3 heritage Brandywine and a couple of others which I can't remember.
The local Ag man here recommended these two for my area.
In the past, I have had no luck with heritage varieties, but I hope my luck will be different this year.
My first 2 tomatoes to ripen were the Celebrity. So tonight for dinner I made one of my favorite dishes. I found this recipe over 20 years ago and no longer have it, so I can't write amounts of the ingredients. I rarely measure anything anyway.
First I cook a cup of wild rice. To stuff 2 medium tomatoes use about 1/3 of a package of frozen spinach, thawed and chopped. Half a cup of chopped walnuts. Mixed them in a bowl. Add enough olive oil so the ingredients will stick together.
Add Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Core the tomatoes and cut them like a flower like in my picture. Then stuff them. I love this and if the tomatoes are large, it's a whole meal.
Since these were medium, I cooked some salmon with it.
I'm looking forward to many more dishes with my homegrown tomatoes.

I'm not all that fond of tomatoes, but these look great. You've done a fine job.
ReplyDeleteYum! I love stuffing tomatoes especially now the they are in season! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this dish! When we once had a breakfast buffet, this was served and I enjoyed it very much... this is very healthy and good for the body as well. Happy weekend! :D
ReplyDeleteI love tomatoes! I don't do the heritage stuff. I grow early girl and better boy. They produce well and are tasty. I like to eat tomatoes just like an apple but your recipe sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying tomato sandwiches! Whooo that's good! One of Ken's favorite meals is a stuffed tomato (with tuna) and blackeyed peas...yummy!
ReplyDeleteTomatoes in Phoenix suck. They taste like, well nothing. I grew up in NJ and miss those Jersey tomatoes every summer darn it.
