Fish Stuffed Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/2-in. shell for each. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain. , In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, celery salt, dill and pepper. Stir in the tuna, celery and cashews if desired. Spoon into tomato shells.

Steps:

• Cut off the top 1/2-inch from the core side of the tomatoes. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and flesh surrounding them, leaving the exterior intact in a bowl shape.
• In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, vinegar, anchovies and garlic. Doing this will help disperse the anchovies evenly with the rest of the mixture.
• In a separate bowl, combine the tuna, cucumbers, parsley, olives, tomatoes, capers, onions and shallots. Season with salt and pepper and dress in the anchovy mixture. Add more olive oil as needed to moisten the mixture, but it should not be wet.
• Divide the filling among the tomatoes and top with some Toasted Garlic and Herb Breadcrumbs and shaved ricotta salata.
• Cut the crusts from the bread and tear it into small pieces. Place in a food processor and pulse until a coarse-crumb consistency is reached. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toss to coat and continue to cook, stirring constantly. When the breadcrumbs begin to brown, stir in the parsley and garlic, and toast until golden brown, an additional minute. Remove from the pan and cool.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except tomatoes.
• Use serrated knife to partially cut tomatoes into wedges, starting at top of each tomato and being careful to not cut through to bottom of tomato.
• Fill tomatoes with tuna mixture.

Steps:

• Combine the first nine ingredients in a bowl; set aside. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, dill and pepper; mix well. Pour over rice mixture; toss gently. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. , Just before serving, cut a thin slice from the top of each tomato, or scallop top with a sharp knife. Scoop out pulp and discard, leaving a 1/2-in. thick shell. Fill each tomato with about 1/2 cup of salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Cut thin slice from top of each tomato. Remove pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch wall. Place tomatoes, cut sides down, on wire rack to drain. Turn tomatoes right side up. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons of the bread crumbs over insides of tomatoes.
• Mix 1/2 cup bread crumbs and remaining ingredients except fish; spread on fish fillets. Roll up fillets; place in tomatoes. Place each tomato in ungreased 12-ounce custard cup.
• 3. Bake uncovered about 30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Steps:

• Pat the fish dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Oil one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish and pour on the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until they have softened and begun to color slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, paprika, cinnamon, dissolved tomato paste, wine, half the parsley and more salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce has cooked down a bit and is very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley.
• Place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Baste the fish every 10 minutes if it is not submerged in the sauce. Serve hot or warm, with rice, bulgur, or potatoes.

Steps:

• Arrange the fish on a plate and place in a steamer. Place on the stove and bring to a boil. Steam for six to eight minutes, until the fish just flakes but is still quite moist and barely cooked. Let cool to room temperature and then flake, separating the fillets into one-inch pieces. You should have approximately two cups.
• Cut off the top third of each tomato and press each base lightly to extract a little of the juice and seeds. Using a measuring tablespoon (because it has sharp edges), remove the inside of each tomato base and top. (This flesh, and the ''lids,'' will amount to approximately one and a quarter pounds and can be used in the bean recipe instead of the plum tomatoes.)
• To make the vinaigrette, combine the mustard, red-wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, oil, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Add the cucumber, radish, scallion and garlic to the vinaigrette and stir to combine. Gently fold in the fish and coriander so as not to break the fish too much.
• Arrange the tomato receptacles in a gratin dish and stuff lightly with the fish mixture, heaping the filling. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until time for the picnic. (The tomatoes can be stuffed a few hours ahead and refrigerated, but should be eaten at room temperature for best flavor.)
