Stuffed
Tomatoes (Jitomates Rellenos)
Ingredients:
* 6 ripe, firm tomatoes * 1 can of
tuna * 1/2 cup of peas * 3 stalks of
celery, cleaned and chopped up * 1/2 cup of
mayonaise * 1 pinch of baking soda *
salt and pepper
Procedure:
1. Cook
the peas in a little water with a pinch of baking soda.
2.
Submerge the tomatoes in boiling water a few seconds to peel them
more easily. Cut off the very tops of the tomatoes; hollow out a
space inside the tomatoes carefully so they don't
break.
3. Mix together the tuna, peas, celery and mayonaise.
Fill the tomatoes with this mix. Serve on lettuce leaves and
garnish with parsley. (Tomatoes may also be filled with potato
salad, sardines, vegetables and even
rice.)
