STUFFED CHERRY TOMATOES This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Ritchie Estate in Balch Springs, Texas in 1984.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup finely crushed bulgur wheat

2 cups warm water

1 cup finely chopped parsley

1 cup finely minced sweet onion

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon finely minced fresh hot peppers

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons finely cut fresh mint

24 yellow or red cherry tomatoes

24 cooked shrimp about the size of the tomato diameter

Directions:

1. Put wheat in a bowl then add the water.
2. Let it soak while you chop other ingredients except tomatoes.
3. Add them as you finish chopping them to a big bowl.
4. Mix well when you finish.
5. Cut just the tops off the cherry tomatoes and hollow out carefully with a grapefruit spoon.
6. Add the innards to the oil mixture.
7. Drain wheat very well then add to oil mixture and mix well.
8. Use a small spoon and stuff wheat into tomatoes and pack it down.
9. Put a shrimp on each tomato top and serve immediately.
