A Spanish tapa. It is essentially egg salad in a tomato. Tuna or chicken salad would also be delicious here. Really nice accompaniment to a green salad or any sandwich or just by itself for lunch.

Time 11m

Yield 8 tomatoes, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 small tomatoes
4 hard-boiled eggs, cooled and peeled
6 tablespoons aioli or 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • First core and skin the tomatoes; cut out the core with a knife, then score the other end with an "X". Drop each tomato in a pan of boiling water for about 10 seconds, then place in an ice water bath to stop cooking. The skin should now remove easily.
  • Slice the tops off the tomatoes, reserve. Scoop out any seeds that remain. Season with a little salt and pepper. If any of the tomatoes won't stand up nice, just slice a bit off the bottom to make them stable.
  • Chop the eggs and combine with the aioli or mayonnaise. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley. Stuff into the tomatoes, then cover with reserved tops.
  • If prepared ahead, brush lightly with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap.
