[Guest guest]

This is a recipe i am looking forward to making again when the

fresh tomatoes are at their peak.

 

Tomatoes with Herbed Stuffing

 

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup butter or margarine

4 cups cubed day-old whole wheat

2 cups day-old rye bread

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

2 tsp. rubbed sage

1 tsp. dried thyme

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground pepper

1/4 to 1/2 cup no-chicken broth

8 medium tomatoes

 

In a Dutch oven, saute celery and onions in butter until soft.

Remove from heat. Stir in bread cubes, parsley, sage, thyme,

salt and pepper. Add broth and toss to combine.

Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out pulp,

leaving 1/2 inch shells. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels

to drain. Spoon about 1/3 cup stuffing into each tomato.

Place in a greased baking dish. Spoon any remaining

stuffing around tomatoes. Bake uncovered at 350?F for 25 to

30 minutes or until tomatoes are tender.

Yield: 8 servings
