This is my take on one of the most popular Mediterranean dishes.
Stuffing:
Hot pan > 2 tbs Oil + 1 chopped Onion + chopped Garlic + 1/2 tsp Salt > Fry
Add 1 cup minced meat + 1 tsp Curry Powder > Fry
Add 1/2 cup cooked rice + Seasoning (OXO or Bullion cubes) to taste + 1 tbs Yogurt > Cook for 10 min
Sauce: Daal (Lentil soup) 1 cup red lentil + 3 cups water + 1 ts salt + 1 veg stock cube > bring to boil and simmer for 20 mins.
6 large Tomatoes > Chop the top off > remove the inside with a spoon > Sit them in a dish tightly.
Fill the tomatoes with stuffing. > use the chopped top of the tomatoes as lid > Pour the sauce around the tomatoes.
Bake 180c/30min
Garnish with Fried Onion & Garlic and Coriander leaves or chopped green onion.
Variation: Use Stuffed Peppers (Bell Pepper / Pepsicum) instead of Tomato. You can use any soup of your choice instead of Daal.

Would this work well with beef tomato on the vine?
ReplyDeleteThat will be ideal. I did not specify it as Beef Tomato may not be known or available to many.
