Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 20 cherry tomatoes, , about 1 inch in diameter
- ½ cup tightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- ⅓ cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves, , plus more for garnish
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 ounces crumbled goat cheese or cheese alternative
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Slice off the very top of each tomato. Using a small spoon, scoop out the pulp and seeds. Turn upside down on paper towels to drain.
- In a blender, combine the parsley, basil, and garlic. Cover and process until uniform, scraping the sides as needed. With the machine running, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and continue processing until a paste has formed.
- Transfer to a small bowl and stir in goat cheese. Mix until fairly smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mixture into a small plastic bag, snip a small hole in one corner of the bag. Squeeze the filling into the tomato shells. Garnish with small parsley or basil leaves.
