Tomatoes Stuffed with Smoked Salmon or Tuna

Summer is not completed without these Tomatoes Stuffed with Smoked Salmon or Tuna. This is my grandmother recipe. If tomatoes are not in season, use beets, so I do at my house in winter.

Tomatoes stuffed with smoked salmon or tuna

for 4 people
Ingredients:

  •      3 medium tomatoes, ripe
  •      115 grams/ 4 oz cream cheese Philadelphia type at room temperature
  •      10 washed and chopped green onions thinly sliced, including some of the green parts
  •      180 grams/ 6 oz of smoked salmon or leftover grilled salmon or a tuna can drain
  •      3 tablespoons of pesto or 1/4 cup of fresh herbs chopped
  •      basil for garnish, optional

Preparation:

  1.       Combine the softened cream cheese, pesto, and chopped green onions, mix well, add the rough fully chopped smoked salmon or tuna and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
  2.      Wash and dry the tomatoes, cut into slices discarding the ends. Place all the slices on a plate or cutting board and sprinkle with a dash of table salt, this is really going to enhance the flavor of tomatoes. Only do one side.
  3.      Assemble the stuffed tomatoes on the plate where they will serve beginning with a slice of tomato, then about 2 tablespoons of salmon mixture, continue until having 3 tomato slices per person.
  4.      Serve at room temperature and pronto!
