I have this one tomato plant that keeps giving me smaller tomatoes. They are larger than a cherry or grape tomato, but not quite a big tomato. I thought, okay what do we do with these. Then I realized that they would make a great garnish. And wait, let's stuff them! Let's make the stuffing a little less traditional and make a balsamic stuffing. To make these tasty treats you will need:Smaller sized tomatoes (this recipe is based on 4 servings or 2 tomatoes
2 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar
shake of salt and pepper
healthy shake of garlic powder
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (vegans leave this out)
1 1/2 tablespoons of dried chives
Hot water

1.) Take a teaspoon and carve the filling out of the tomatoes. Chop this up and place it in a bowl. To to bowl add the balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder. Put in the microwave and cook for 1 1/2 minutes to 2 minutes. You want the mixture to thicken up.2.) Add the Panko, Parmesan cheese and the dried chives. Add small amounts of water at a time to make a stuffing like consistency. Stuff the tomatoes.
3.) As it is the summer, I put these right on the top rack of the grill for about 20 minutes. If you do not have a top rack for your grill, put them on the warm (not hot side of the grill). Or if using your oven, 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Every time I make these my husband (who isn't a tomato lover) gobbles them up! And for him I also don't put in the cheese.
