Snacks and Salads Recipes - Tomatoes Stuffed with
Asparagus, Eggs and Salad
Recipe
Ingredients
Serves 4
Method:
-
Hard-boil (hard-cook) an egg, allow to cool and
shell. Drain the asparagus and peas.
-
Cut the top off each tomato and carefully remove the
flesh with a teaspoon. Sprinkle salt inside the
hollowed-out tomatoes.
-
Cut the spring onions (scallions) into slices about
1 cm/3/8 in thick. Dice the pork sausage, chop
the eggs, cut the asparagus into small pieces, add
the peas and stir.
-
Add the dressing (see below).
Fill the tomatoes with the salad mixture and put the
top back on.
-
For the dressing: mix the mayonnaise and yoghurt to
make a smooth mixture. Add lemon juice and season
with salt, sugar, cayenne pepper and paprika. Pour
part of the dressing onto the salad stuffing and
serve the rest separately.
Note:
From being a "party piece" in the
1970s, stuffed
tomatoes
have developed into a classic dish. A grapefruit
knife with a curved, serrated blade makes it
easier to hollow out the tomatoes.
