Stuffed Tomatoes
(Tomates Rellenos)
What You Need:
  • 6 tomatoes (medium to medium-large)
  • 1 cup cracker crumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ˝ cup melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ˝ cup hot water
  • Butter
  • How To Cook:
    1. Cut a slice off the top of each tomato and discard. Scoop out the centers. It is easiest if a sharp knife is first used to loosen the sides and then a large spoon is used to scoop out the heart and seeds.

    2. Put the centers in a bowl. When finished drain off the loose seeds and the excess juice. Chop the centers. Mix with the cracker crumbs, eggs, butter, parsley, onion, paprika, salt, pepper, and water. Stir well.

    3. Put each tomato in a custard cup and fill by dividing the stuffing between the tomatoes. It may be necessary to mound up the filling a bit.

    4. Put the cups in a circle in the microwave oven. Half way through the cooking time give each cup ˝ of a turn to provide even cooking.

    5. Cook until the tomatoes are done and the stuffing is puffy (about 10 minutes).

    NOTE:
        If you overcook, the tomatoes will be too soft and the stuffing on top will be tough. The flavor of these tomatoes is scrumptious
