The Stuffed Tomatoes are filled with a mixture of cottage cheese. 

Ingredients for Stuffed Tomatoes

  • 8 large tomatoes
  • 454 g (16 oz) of cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • 4 leaves of fresh basil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of chopped fresh chives
  • 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh dill
  • 1–2 tablespoons of buttermilk
  • 2 cloves of diced garlic
  • ½ tablespoon of salt

Preparation:

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut the top off the tomatoes. Remove the inside flesh of the tomato out with a grapefruit spoon or grapefruit knife. Place the flesh in a colander to drain. Once you have washed your herbs, remove the leaves from the stems and cut them finely with either a knife or herb scissors. Add the herbs to the cottage cheese. Push the garlic through a garlic press and add it to the cheese. Add the lemon juice, buttermilk, and salt and mix with a handheld mixer until smooth. Now add the drained tomatoes and mix again. Fill the tomatoes with the herb cheese mixture and place them on a serving plate. 

NOTE: If you have any of the stuffing left, serve it as a dip with potato chips as an appetizer.
