This is another recipe from Giada De Laurentiis that I saw her prepare on her cooking program a few years ago. I missed a few preparation steps though, so I set my note aside. I finally took the time to get the missing instructions, so I thought I'd post it before I lose it again. Ingredients:
12 roma tomatoes, sliced in 1/2 lengthwise |
1/4 cup oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs |
3/4 cup finely crumbled gorgonzola or 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Using a teaspoon, remove seeds from tomatoes. Place tomato halves, cut side down, on paper towels to drain for about 5 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, gently toss the drained tomato halves in the oil mixture until coated. Marinate the tomatoes for 10 minutes.
4. In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs and Gorgonzola cheese.
5. Place the marinated tomato halves, cut side up, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Fill each tomato half with the bread crumb filling. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until slightly softened and the underside of the tomatoes are brown.
7. Arrange the cooked tomatoes on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
