Zucchini Stuffed Tomatoes
4 large plum tomatoes
Salt and sugar
1 1/2 pounds zucchini
1 teaspoon salt
3 shallots, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1/2 pound grated Gruyere
Preheat the broiler. Cut the tomatoes in 1/2
crosswise. Scoop out the centers leaving the outer
thick flesh intact. Sprinkle the interior shells of
the tomatoes with a couple pinches of salt and sugar,
and invert them on a paper towel lined plate to drain
until ready to stuff.
With the grating attachment of a food processor or on
the large-holed side of a box grater, grate the
zucchini, and place it in a strainer. Toss the
zucchini with 1 teaspoon salt and place the strainer
over a bowl to catch the juices. Allow to drain for 5
to 10 minutes.
In a large heavy skillet, saute the shallots in 2
tablespoons olive oil, until they begin to caramelize.
Meanwhile squeeze the zucchini to release as much
water as possible.
Turn the heat up on the shallots, add the dry zucchini
to the pan, and saute the zucchini with the shallots
for 5 minutes.
Add chopped parsley and thyme, and then toss the
zucchini with the cheese, reserving 1/4 cup of the
cheese for topping.
Stuff the tomatoes with the filling, mounding it
slightly, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place in
tomato halves in ovenproof baking dish and broil them
until the tops are golden. Serve hot.
