This recipe from the *Microwave* cookbook of the Australian Womens Weekly cookbook series opened my eyes & focused them on really spec things to create easily in my microwave. I'm into easy, fast, versatile + impressive & see this recipe as a prime example. I have not made this, but think it would make a great Starter or Brunch/Lunch/Buffet item. I hope you'll agree & give it a try. *Enjoy* ! *EDITED TO ADD* In response to reviewer comments, I have included 1 tsp of Old Bay Seasoning as an opt add to this recipe. Ingredients:
6 tomatoes (med to lrg size) |
4 ounces camembert cheese (see note at end of prep) |
6 ounces canned crabmeat (drained & cleaned of debris) |
1 tablespoon sour cream |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 green onions (chopped) |
1 teaspoon capers (chopped) |
3/4 cup cooked rice |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped) |
1 teaspoon old bay seasoning (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cut a slice from the top of ea tomato. Scoop out seeds & pulp w/a tsp & reserve for another use. Set tomatoes aside.
2. W/a sharp knife, remove rind from cheese & chop cheese finely into a mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients + Old Bay seasoning (if using) & mix to combine.
3. Spoon crab mixture into tomato shells (pack as needed for tomato size). Place tomatoes in shallow microwave-safe dish, cook on HIGH for 5 minutes & serve immediately.
4. NOTE: While the recipe calls for 4 oz of the Camembert cheese, I'd prob use 6 oz. The way I see it, can more Camembert cheese ever be wrong? NOT!
