Broccoli Stuffed Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring broccoli and 1 in. of water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside. Cut a 1/2-in. slice off the top of each tomato; with a spoon or melon baller, hollow out each tomato, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Discard pulp. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice into each tomato; place upside down on paper towel for 10 minutes to drain., Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. In a bowl, combine the flour, milk and broth until smooth. Stir into onion mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, pepper and reserved broccoli. In a bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Fold into broccoli mixture., Place the tomatoes in an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Spoon the broccoli mixture into each tomato, mounding in the center. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Wash and dry tomatoes.
• Cut the tops off from tomatoes.
• Scoop out the pulp (careful not to tear the tomatoes).
• Sprinkle the insides of tomatoes with salt, pepper and sugar (use any amount of salt, pepper and sugar desired).
• Invert/turn over on a wire rack; drain for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the well-drained chopped broccoli pieces with the grated Swiss cheese, bread crumbs, 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (if using).
• Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture.
• Sprinkle the tops with chopped onion and more Parmesan cheese.
• Sprinkle lightly with shredded cheese (if using).
• Place in a greased baking dish (any size desired to hold the tomatoes).
• Tent very loosely with foil (these can be baked without covering also, if desired).
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice until well coated. Add the tomato sauce and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, covered.
• Meanwhile, mix the broccoli, cheese spread, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Cut three deep slits across the top of each chicken breast at an angle (do not cut through). Rub the chicken with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt, pepper and the paprika. Stuff the broccoli mixture into the slits and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the chicken.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until the broccoli begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup water, and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the Cheddar and reserve.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by making a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each without cutting all the way through. Open the tenderloins like books so they lie flat, cover with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli mixture over the 2 tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border around all the sides except the long one closest to you. Tightly roll up each tenderloin, tucking the narrow ends inside as you roll. Tie each roulade with butcher's twine tightly (without piercing the meat) on each end and at 2-inch intervals in between. Brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off for indirect heat (to finish the roulades). Oil the grill grates. Grill the roulades over direct heat, turning, until the outside is well marked, about 12 minutes. Move them to indirect heat, cover and cook until a thermometer inserted in the center of each roulade registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Transfer them to a cutting board to rest 10 minutes.
• While the roulades are cooking, make the relish: Lay an onion slice on a cutting board. Place the palm of 1 hand on top of the slice, and with the other hand push a metal skewer through the slice crosswise until it comes out the other side. Repeat with the other slices, leaving an inch of skewer uncovered on each end and using as many skewers as necessary. Thread the tomatoes on the skewers. Brush the onions and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning, until the tomatoes are charred and bursting and the onion slices are tender with brown edges, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and onions from the skewers, and chop. Mix with the parsley, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Cut the strings off the roulades with scissors, and slice the roulades on the bias. Serve with the relish.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and stir to make a smooth paste. Stir in milk and cook over low heat until thickened. Add mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in cheese and cook until melted. Fold in broccoli and ham. Serve over hot baked potatoes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until aromatic, about 3 minutes. Stir in the carrots and celery, season with salt and pepper, and continue cooking until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli, recover, and steam until bright green, 4 minutes. Remove the broccoli from the steamer and place in a 8x8 inch baking dish; set aside.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pour the can of diced tomatoes and green olives into the skillet with the onion and carrot mixture. Stir and cook over medium-high heat until most of the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Mix in the maple syrup, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook and stir for 3 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the broccoli in the 8x8 inch baking dish. Evenly distribute the goat cheese and Parmesan cheese over the broccoli and sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven until the cheese begins to brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and pierce with a fork. Microwave on high for 15 minutes, or until done.
• Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice the tops off of the potatoes, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl with the broccoli. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cheese sauce and mash mixture until desired consistency is reached, adding more sauce if desired. Spoon mixture back into the skins, and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high, with the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Cut away and discard the core of each tomato. Cut the tomatoes crosswise through the center. Discard the seeds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley and olive oil. Blend well.
• Top each tomato half with an equal portion of the crumb mixture, pressing down with your fingers to distribute the topping evenly. Place the tomatoes under the broiler, and broil for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned and hot.

Steps:

• Add the potatoes and water to a large, wide saucepan.
• Cover and cook over low heat until potatoes are almost tender (about 15 minutes).
• Add in the broccoli; cover and cook 8 minutes or until tender.
• Place a colander under a bowl and drain the potatoes and broccoli, saving the cooking liquid.
• Wipe out the saucepan and add the oil and garlic.
• Cook the garlic in the oil over low heat just until it begins to sizzle and turn golden (1 minute).
• Add the potatoes and broccoli back to the saucepan; stir to coat.
• Add about ½ cup of the cooking liquid.
• Add in the tomatoes; toss to distribute.
• Sprinkle with the cheese; serve immediately.
