Stuffed Caprese
Ingredients
  • 4
    small tomatoes (3 to 4 oz. each)
  • 1/4
    teaspoon sea salt or salt
  • 1/8
    teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3
    tablespoons olive oil
  • 3
    tablespoons white wine vinegar or vinegar
  • 1/2
    teaspoon sugar
  • 3
    ounces fresh mozzarella or fresh buffalo mozzarella, drained and cut into small chunks (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4
    cup slivered red onion
  • 1/4
    cup snipped fresh basil
  • Sea salt or salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Directions

1. Cut a 1/4-inch slice from the stem end of each tomato. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out core, seeds, and pulp, leaving up to a 1/2-inch-thick shell. Discard pulp. Sprinkle tomato shells with the 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and the 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stand tomato shells on a plate; set aside.

2. For dressing, in a screwtop jar, combine olive oil, vinegar, and sugar. Cover; shake well. Reserve 1-1/2 tablespoons of dressing. Spoon remaining dressing into tomato shells.

3. In a medium bowl combine mozzarella, red onion, basil, and reserved dressing; toss to mix. Spoon cheese mixture into tomato shells. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 hours. To serve, place stuffed tomatoes on individual plates. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Makes 4 servings.
