Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the tomato thoroughly under cold water.
- Cut a small slice off the top of the tomato to create an opening. Use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeds and some pulp, creating a cavity for the filling. Be careful not to puncture the outer wall of the tomato.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, salt, dill, black pepper, chopped onion, and low-fat cottage cheese.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Carefully spoon the tuna mixture into the hollowed-out tomato. Pack the filling firmly but gently so that the tomato maintains its shape.
- Place the stuffed tomato on a serving plate.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional dill or a small sprig of fresh dill for an attractive presentation.
- Serve the stuffed tomato immediately, or refrigerate for an hour if you prefer a chilled dish. This can be enjoyed as a light lunch or as an appetizer.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, yet firm tomatoes to ensure they hold their shape when stuffed.
- Drain the canned tuna well to avoid any excess moisture in the stuffing.
- Use fresh dill if possible for a more vibrant flavor.
- For a creamier texture, blend the cottage cheese before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Consider chilling the stuffed tomatoes in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving for a refreshing, cold dish.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the tuna mixture for an extra tangy kick.
