I'm retired and enjoy collecting recipes...I only wish I had time to try every one of them! I found this recipe in a local newspaper. My family loves the combination of flavors. Ingredients:
2 medium tomatoes |
4 tablespoons sliced green onions, divided |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 tablespoon red wine or cider vinegar |
1/8 teaspoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
pinch pepper |
1/2 cup diced fully cooked ham or canadian bacon |
1/3 cup canned whole kernel corn, drained |
2 cups shredded salad greens |
Directions:
1. Cut a thin slice off tops of tomatoes. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in. shell; invert shells on paper towel to drain. Chop tops, pulp, and seeds; set aside. In a small skillet, saute 2 tablespoons onions and garlic in 1 teaspoon oil for about 2 minutes or until slightly softened. Remove from the heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and 3 tablespoons chopped pulp; mix well. Pour into a small bowl; set aside. In the same skillet, cook ham, corn, remaining onions and remaining pulp in remaining oil for 4 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Spoon into tomato shells. Serve on a bed of lettuce; drizzle with the reserved tomato-vinegar mixture. Yield: 2 servings.
