Marmie's Baked/Grilled Stuffed Greek Style Tomatoes

"Inspired by a recipe #348245 posted by Mikey Tuscon. I loved his recipe cold ...such a neat "Greek Salad" I had made a whole Greek meal including a typical Greek salad so I thought these would be wonderful warm instead...so as to to enhance the sweetness of the tomato. Amazing! They make the perfect appy! So easy to prepare ahead of time, a real time saver when entertaining. I have made them several times now and I think you will like them. Serve with garlic cheese bread, yummy!"

directions

  • Mix onion, feta, olives, fresh ground pepper to taste, 1 - 2 Tablespoons EVOO (and garlic if desired here as opposed to on top of tomato) together and let sit until ready to stuff tomato.
  • Cut tomato in half width ways and gently remove seeds with a grapefruit spoon.
  • Thinly slice a flat edge from the top and the bottom of the tomato, (to stabilize it on the pan) and sprinkle inside tomato with a pinch of kosher salt. (Tip: should you cut too much off the bottom of the tomato and you are concerned the filling will seep out -- take the sliced off part and place inside the bottom of the seeded tomato).
  • Fill each of the 12 tomato halves with the onion and cheese mixture from step 1.
  • Drizzle a bit of EVOO on top.
  • Add a cucumber slice to top of each stuffed tomato.
  • Add a sliver of garlic to top of cucumber (if you have chosen not to put it directly into the cheese mix).
  • Add a bit of basil on top of garlic (or cucumber as needed).
  • Sprinkle a bit of EVOO on top again.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parmesan and ground pepper if desired.
  • Set tomatoes on a foil pan and cover with tin foil.
  • Indirectly grill on the BBQ on high for 20 - 25 min until semi soft or bake in oven at 350°F for 20 minutes or until tender but not too soft.
  • NOTE - indirect heat on the BBQ is when you light only one side of the BBQ and place item to be cooked on the other.
  • Serves 6 - side vegetables or 12 - Appys.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live on a farm in beautiful Alberta Canada with my husband and children. Between us we have six 'kids' ranging in age from 16 - 26 years old. Now that there are only two of our kids left living at home, I have more time to play around with my real passion; cooking and trying new recipes. I really love it when the kids come home so I can cook for them. I truly enjoy harvesting our massive garden (well, actually it is more my husband Jerry's garden if I am honest.)and putting up preserves every year. We have a great arrangement, he plants and weeds - I cook and can everything edible! It works well for us. My favorite thing is when my husband and I share a glass of wine while I am cooking and have the best visits. Oh so much good food out there and so little waistline to spare! My idea of a nice vacation souvenir is a pile of new and unusual spices to play with! If I don't know what it is.... I just search for it on Recipezaar!!! Way too much fun!
