Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the tomato thoroughly.
- With a sharp knife, slice off the top of the tomato (the part with the stem).
- Gently scoop out the inner pulp and seeds with a spoon, creating a hollow cavity. Set the hollowed tomato aside. You can discard the pulp or save it for another use.
- Drain the canned tuna to remove excess water.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, low-fat cottage cheese, dried dill, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
- Finely chop the green onion stalk and add it to the mixture.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Carefully spoon the tuna mixture into the hollowed-out tomato. Press down slightly with the spoon to ensure the mixture is tightly packed and fills the entire cavity.
- Place the stuffed tomato on a serving plate.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of additional dill or chopped green onion if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for stuffing. They should be able to hold the filling without collapsing.
- Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to avoid excess moisture which can make the filling soggy.
- Finely chop the onion stalk to ensure even distribution of flavor throughout the stuffing.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference. Feel free to add other herbs like parsley or chives for an extra flavor boost.
- To enhance the texture, you could mix in some crunchy elements like chopped celery or bell peppers.
