Deviled Tomatoes Recipe 465

DEVILED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Combine the chickpeas, mayonnaise, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, mustard, curry powder, and pepper in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse on and off until the mixture is nicely melded, but don't puree-leave a little texture.
• Add the chives or scallion through the feed tube and pulse on and off a few times to whirl in.
• If you don't have a food processor, simply mash the chickpeas well in a bowl, and stir in the mayonnaise, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, mustard, curry powder, pepper, and chives.
• Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seedy center with a spoon. You'll be left with a neat shell (save what you've scooped out for another use, such as blending into a juice or sauce).
• Stuff the tomatoes generously with the chickpea mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Arrange on a platter atop a bed of lettuce or baby greens.

DEVILED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Slice the top off of each tomato. Hollow out each tomato with a spoon, leaving a 1/2 to 1/4 inch shell. Place tomato pulp in a large bowl.
• Stir the vinegar and olive oil into the pulp, mixing to break up any large pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Evenly spoon the filling into the tomato shells. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving.

DEVILED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes and oil to a resealable bag and season with salt and pepper; shake the bag to thoroughly coat the potatoes. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until easily pierced with a paring knife, 15 to 20 minutes; cool.
• Cut the potatoes in half so the biggest surface area is exposed. Remove all of the flesh from 4 of the potato halves with a 1/4-teaspoon measuring spoon or melon baller. Put the potato flesh in a medium bowl and discard the skins. Use the spoon to scoop out most of the potato flesh from the remaining 12 potato halves, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh on the skins so the "shells" firmly hold their shape. Transfer the potato flesh to the medium bowl.
• Add the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, dill and cayenne to the bowl and mash with a potato masher until well mixed and fairly smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells. Dust lightly with smoked paprika and garnish with dill. Serve at room temperature.

DEVILED TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels and reserve the drippings in the skillet. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic and jalapenos to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, scoop the flesh out of the center of the tomatoes and chop, reserving the shells. Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and stir in the oregano. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and heat the broiler.
• Put the bread slices in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top each slice of bread with a tomato half. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the tomato halves. Top the tomatoes with the bacon and cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

DEVILED EGGS WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO

Steps:

• Halve the eggs lengthwise, force the yolks through a sieve into a bowl, and stir in the minced tomatoes, the mayonnaise, the sour cream, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch decorative tip and pipe it into the egg-white halves, mounding it. Garnish the stuffed eggs with 2 reserved sun-dried tomatoes, cut into julienne strips, and the parsley.

OVEN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a pan with parchment; for thinnest chips, use a Silpat baking mat. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, on pan, spaced 1/2 to 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with sugar and herbs; season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer pan to oven; dry until juices have stopped running, edges are shriveled, and pieces have shrunken slightly; timing will vary depending on the variety, ripeness, and desired degree of dryness, 1 1/2 to 6 hours. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container, refrigerated, up to 3 days, or frozen, for up to 6 weeks.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO DEVILED EGGS

• Set aside white halves on a plate and transfer yolks to a medium mixing bowl.
• Mash yolks with mayonnaise, sour cream, tomato paste, shallots, mustard, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon filling into egg halves evenly, mounding slightly.

OVEN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°. Fill a large saucepan two-thirds with water; bring to a boil. Cut a shallow "X" on the bottom of each tomato. Place tomatoes, a few at a time, in boiling water just until skin at the "X" begins to loosen, about 30 seconds. Remove and immediately drop into ice water. Pull off and discard skins., Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Combine tomatoes, oil, basil, garlic, salt and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer tomatoes, cut side up, to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Roast until tomatoes are soft and slightly shriveled, about 5 hours. Cool completely; refrigerate.

TOMATO-PIMENTON DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, cover eggs with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 12 minutes. Drain eggs; run under cold water until cool enough to handle.
• Peel and halve eggs lengthwise; remove yolks and transfer to a bowl. Mash with a fork; mix in mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar. Press through a sieve to make smooth. Stir tomato paste and pimenton into yolk mixture.
• Using a pastry bag fitted with desired tip (we used plain and star tips), pipe yolk mixture into whites. Garnish with pimenton. Serve immediately, or chill up to 2 hours.

BACON AND TOMATO DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolk keeping the white half completely intact. Place yolks in a separate little bowl.
• In yet another bowl add your ranch dressing, sour cream, tomato paste, ground mustard, chopped parsley and bacon. Mix together with a whisk until smooth.
• Add the egg yolks to your dressing mixture and incorperate with a folk until fully incorperated.
• Place egg mixture in a plastic ziplock bag with a large tip on the end. (You can also just cut about a third of an inch off the bottom of the bag if you don't have a decorating tip.)Fill the egg white halves with the mixture, and then lightly sprinkle a pinch of creole seasoning and a crank of fresh ground pepper onto every filled half.
• Chill in the fridge for about a half an hour and then serve.
• If you wanna make a short cut just substitute the ranch dressing, sour cream, tomato paste and half the bacon for Kraft's Tomato Bacon Dressing. I've made it both ways and they are both wonderful.
