Time 25m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 Campari tomatoes
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 ball (8 ounces) burrata cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Small fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Trim the base of each tomato so they sit flat. Using a serrated knife, slice off top 1/4 inch of each tomato. Scoop out seeds and pulp, then place hollowed-out shells upside-down on a paper-towel-lined plate or baking sheet to drain, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn tomatoes upright, and season with salt. Open burrata and pour creamy interior into a bowl. Chop firm exterior into 1/2-inch pieces, then stuff one piece in the bottom of each tomato. Divide creamy center among tomatoes (about 1 teaspoon each). Drizzle tomatoes with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and garnish with basil. Serve immediately.

If you prefer a nuttier flavor, use bulgur instead of couscous in the filling.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 assorted bell peppers (2 pounds total), halved and seeded
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced (1 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large tomato (8 ounces), cored and chopped (1 1/3 cups)
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 cup plain couscous
1 cup chopped fresh mint or parsley, or a combination
1 cup crumbled feta (from a 4-ounce block)
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high. Drizzle peppers with 2 tablespoons oil. Grill, turning once, until charred in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine 3 tablespoons oil, shallots, and a pinch of salt in a large cast-iron skillet; place on grill. Cook, stirring often, until shallots soften, 5 minutes. Add tomato and raisins; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add couscous and 1 1/2 cups water; season with salt and ground pepper. Simmer, stirring, until water has evaporated, about 4 minutes; remove from heat. Transfer mixture to a bowl; let cool slightly, then stir in mint, cheese, and egg. Season insides of peppers with salt and ground pepper; place in skillet. Divide fill- ing among peppers; return skillet to grill. Cover and cook until filling binds, 5 minutes. Serve, drizzled with oil, alongside greens.
