directions

  • Cut the tops off the tomatoes and maybe a slice off the bottom so you can stand them flat.
  • Remove the insides of the tomatoes with a spoon or knife.
  • Mix the eggs, aioli, salt, pepper and parsley.
  • Fill the tomatoes. Replace the tops, sprinkle with some olive oil and black pepper.
  • tips: if the mixture seems too soft you might have to add some bread crumbs. If you are using mayonnaise instead of aioli, season it with garlic.

  1. Why is it called Rellenos? I thought that was a Chili and cheese dish?

  1. Very delicious I did use some mayo and I love hardboiled eggs and tomatoes together so this was lovely. Had the same great taste w/o eating the bread. Great for those non carbs days. I did toss in some dill cause I had it. These are a keeper! Thanks Bellinda. Made for PAC Fall 09.
     
  2. This is great! I wouldn't change a thing! It makes a pretty dish that looks like it takes a lot more work than it really does. My only advice is to pay attention to the "small" part of the tomato description. My tomatoes were apple sized, and the egg mixture only filled three of them. I would think the perfect size would be about halfway between a cherry tomato and a regular one. In fact, you might get by with using roma tomatoes cut in half. I'll be serving this recipe to company. Thanks Bellinda!!
     
  3. Great tapas dish. I didn't have to add any breadcumbs.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I grew up in Germany but my background is German/Spanish/Irish/Native American. I would say my cooking style is a mix of all of them. I like to cook simple clean food. I usually don't use any packaged or processed products. Most of the time I make everything from scratch. I use only organic meat and dairy products and many other organic products and I believe it makes a big difference not only healthwise but also in taste. We have two kids. A 3 year old and a 9 year old. I try not to adapt the food for them too much. They are used to eating what we eat. Growing up I didn't really learn how to cook. At least I didn't care enough to remember anything.But living centrally in Germany I was able to travel and eat European food in it's respective Countries: Italian food in Italy, Spanish food in Spain, French food in France and so on. I really missed that when I moved to the States. I started cooking the week after I got married and have been cooking and teaching myself ever since. Now cooking is not only one of my two hobbies (photography being the other one)but I also see it as therapy. It calms me down after a stressful day, it cheers me up when I feel down and it helps me center my thoughts when I have a lot on my mind. :) Thank you so much to whoever gave me the gift of premium membership. I really appreciate it :) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26630178@N05/3510953178/" title="banner3 by *sparkly*, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3387/3510953178_b35b3086a8.jpg" width="500" height="250" alt="banner3" /></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegn%20swap/vegnswap.jpg> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/pt-shutterbug-banner-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/Copyoftag300-banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Susie's Banner for Newest Zaar Tag"> <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/NZT-2-AnnaciasZaarTagbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Annacia's banner for Zaar Tag"> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg">
