Tomatoes Stuffed with Squash, Feta, and Olives
- 4 small tomatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 pound zucchini, scrubbed and trimmed
- 1/4 pound yellow summer squash, scrubbed and trimmed
- 1/4 cup Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, crushed lightly with the flat side of a knife, pitted, and sliced thin
- 3 tablespoons crumbled feta
- 1 large egg yolk, beaten lightly
- Vegetable oil for brushing the tomatoes
- Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each tomato and with a melon-ball cutter or small spoon scoop out the seeds and inner pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, invert them onto paper towels, and let them stand for 20 minutes.
- In a food processor fitted with the grating blade or with a hand-held grater, grate the zucchini and the summer squash coarse.
- In a colander toss the squash with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and let it stand for 20 minutes.
- Rinse the squash under cold water, squeeze it dry in a kitchen towel, and in a bowl combine it well with the olives, the Feta, and the egg yolk.
- Stuff the tomatoes with the squash mixture, mounding it, put them in an oiled small baking dish, and brush the outsides of the tomatoes with the oil.
- Bake the tomatoes in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
- (The tomatoes may be baked with the hens during the last 10 minutes of roasting.)
