Stuffing Tomatoes with Israeli Couscous and Beef

Share

 

No, those are not peppers, they are stuffing tomatoes. They dont have a tremendous amount of flavour, but are hollow like a pepper, you just have to cut off the top and hollow them out. You could use peppers in this recipe, but it is the end of tomato season, and this is something different.

Been looking at these guys for a couple of weeks at Market, and waiting for an opportunity to work with them. Here is what I came up with:

  • Sautee 1 lb ground beef in half a stick of butter, add some salt. 
  • When it starts to brown add a bit of wine, and cook until just about medium rare.
  • Remove from the pan, and add in 2-3 cups of Israeli couscous (or regular, or rice, or whatever you like).
  • Add the cooking liquid, and equal parts stock and water to cook your starch.
  • When it is all cooked, remove from the heat add combine everything and adjust the seasoning.
  • Stuff your tomatoes, cover the tops with foil (not necessary, but will keep everything moist) and finish on a BBQ or in the oven.

Thanks to my market friends Vickis Veggies and Dingo Farms for the amazing tomatoes and beef.
