How To Make Bulgur and Herb-Stuffed Tomatoes
Ripe tomatoes stuffed with a hearty and flavorful bulgur and herb filling.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 1/2 cup bulgur wheat
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, mint, dill, etc.)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Slice off the top of each tomato and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. Reserve the pulp in a bowl.
-
Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water and place it into a small pot with the vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10-12 minutes or until the bulgur is cooked and the broth has been absorbed. Fluff the bulgur with a fork and set aside.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
-
Add the reserved tomato pulp to the skillet and cook for a further 5-7 minutes until the pulp has broken down and thickened.
-
Add the cooked bulgur and herbs to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld.
-
Stuff the tomatoes with the bulgur mixture and place them into a baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each tomato.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tomatoes are tender.
-
Serve hot and enjoy!
