Stuffed Grilled Tomatoes

Greek food is one of my favorite cuisines, and stuffed tomatoes are a classic Greek dishes. I decided to take this classic out to the grill.

Over the weekend, I did my prep work making the stuffing to go inside the tomatoes.

Stuffing

-1/2 lb ground turkey
-Parsley, oregano, mint, basil, salt & pepper to taste
-Onions
-Bell peppers (any color--I used a trio mix from the freezer section)
-Raisins
-Chopped pistachios (optional)


Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add turkey and cook through. Add onions and bell peppers (I poured them in straight from the freezer) and allow to cook. Season with parsley, oregano, mint, basil, salt & pepper to taste until fragrant and colorful. Add raisins and chopped pistachios (if using) and allow to cook for another minute or so. Remove from heat. This is the stuffing for the tomatoes.

To assembly

Slice off the tops of the tomatoes and scoop out the the insides reserving about 1/2 to combine with the turkey mixture. Stuff the tomatoes full with the mixture. Top with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Wrap loosely in tin foil and place on grill over medium heat for about 10min. Remove foil and place directly on grill and let cook another 5min.

Serve on a bed of spinach.
