Ingredients




3 ripe Tomatoes
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
½ package (5-6 oz) frozen petite peas
½ package (5-6 oz) frozen corn kernels
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grated lime rind
Juice of 1 lime

Preparation

1 Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and using a metal measuring spoon (the regular spoons have sharp edges), hollow them out, leaving a wall about ¼” thick. 2 Arrange the tomatoes on a baking tray, hollow side up. I like to sprinkle some additional salt and fresh ground pepper at this point in the cavity of the tomatoes. 3 Place them in a 180° oven for 10-15 minutes, just long enough to warm them through. 4 Heat the butter in a medium saucepan. When is hot, add the peas, sugar, salt and pepper. 5 Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the lime rind and the juice, toss to mix well and spoon the peas into the tomatoes cups. 6 Serve immediately.

About

I love to prepare the peas inside the tomatoes, two vegetables at once, and great presentation for any dinner party.
Bon Appetit!!
