Tomatoes Provencale

Time: ?

  • 4 medium ripe tomatoes
  1. Preheat oven to 400
  2. cut tomatoes in half across their equator and core stem.  Push out all the flesh and seeds with your fingers, leaving cavities intact.  Salt tomatoes and let drain upside down on a drying rack for 20 minutes
  3. Combine in small bowl:
    • 3 tbs minced garlic 
    • 4 tbs minced shallots
    • 1/2 cup minced fresh basil
    • 2 tsp fresh or 1 tsp dried thyme
    • 1/4 tsp salt 
    • 1 tsp pepper
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  1. season inside of tomatoes with pepper and fill with stuffing.  Sprinkle oil on top.  Arrange tightly in baking dish.  At this point you can refrigerate until ready to finish.  
  2. bake until tomatoes are tender but not collapsing, 10-15 minutes, filling should be lightly browned. I like to brown under the broiler quickly.

    XFF style noodles

    This is more veggie forward than the original. I make this with the brisket from Brisket Broth cook  1 serving noodles (I use about 150g of the big noodles) According to package directions. Reserving the cooking liquid drain and refresh to room temp. In the same water cook briefly (1 min) 0.5 cup cabbage, cut same width as noodles You will probably need to microwave 0.25 cup broth (from where you made the protein, probably)  4 oz cooked protein, bite sized Combine toppings in in bowl 1 scallion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped (this is only crunch)   2 Tbs XFF noodle sauce (in pinch 1.5 Tbs soy sauce, 2 tsp black vinegar)   1 Tbs XFF chili oil (or another Szechuan / mala) Once all is done add to the noodles and cabbage the heated protein and broth and the toppings.
