Baked Tomatoes Stuffed with Leeks

 

A guest made these for us last night they are really tasty, the kids ate them

and not a complaint.

 

6 medium tomatoes

2 small leeks

4 tbsps. olive oil

salt and pepper

dash hot sauce

6 tbsps. dry bread crumbs

3 tsps. olive oil

3 tbsps. chopped parsley

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Grease a shallow baking dish or pan large enough to hold the 6 tomatoes.

Wash tomatoes and cut off stem end (not too close).

Using a teaspoon, scoop out seeds and pulp and discard.

Turn tomatoes upside down on paper towels to drain and place in baking dish.

Wash leeks very thoroughly and pat dry. Cut away the tough green tips.

Lay the leek pieces flat on a cutting board and slice crosswise very fine.

Heat the 4 tablespoons butter in a saute pan, add leeks and cook until soft (do

not overcook).

Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.

Spoon 1/6 of the cooked leeks into each tomato, then a tablespoon of breadcrumbs

over them.

Place a 1/2 ts olive oil on top of each tomato.

Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 12 minutes.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Makes 6 servings.
