Croatian Mushroom-Stuffed Tomatoes
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 lb mushroom, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- With a sharp knife, cut a small hole in the stem end of each tomato and gently scoop out most of the tomato pulp with a teaspoon.
- In a medium skillet, saute the onions in oil until translucent.
- Add the mushrooms, seasonings and herbs.
- Saute, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms release their juice, and then simmer until liquid is reduced, about 5-8 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the flour and stir well.
- Mix in the eggs to coat the mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Season the inside of the hollowed tomatoes with salt and pepper to help the tomatoes retain their shape.
- Stuff the tomatoes with the mushroom mixture and place them in a buttered 9X13 baking pan.
- Combine the grated cheese and bread crumbs.
- Top each tomato with about 1 1/2 Tbsp of this mixture.
- Add 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the baking pan and bake the tomatoes, covered, for 20 minutes.
- Uncover, and bake for another 5 minutes until cheese is slightly browned.
