You can use oven baking, steaming or Air Fryer to cook
the minced meat in the tomato cups in just 15 minutes.
I like to experiment different ingredients with tomatoes.
Raw tomatoes are great for salads, pureed tomato juice
and garnishing for roast meat recipes.
Today, I decided to try Stuffed Tomato with Minced
meat which I had adapted from my old recipe book
which originally used minced fish.
It is difficult to find Cod fish in the supermarket.
Most fishes sold here are local caught / breed fishes
with bones.
Hence, minced chicken or pork meat is much easier to
handle with less work for stuffed vegetable recipes.
After foraging through the fridge, I found tomatoes,
carrots and spring onions which matched perfectly for
this tomato recipe.
If you have green peas or red bell peppers in hand,
chop them up to mix into the mince meat for additional
nutrients.
Before you start cooking this Stuffed Tomato with
minced meat, you should decide which method to cook
them.
If you like roasted food, you could bake the tomato
cups with minced meat in the oven.
Although the tomato edges may turned up a little
charred and wrinkled skin, roasted tomato taste
delicious with tomato sauce mixture.
If you prefer healthy food, go for steaming method
which you can make use of the rice cooker that steam
quickly in just 10 minutes.
Alternatively if you are cooking white/brown rice, put in
a plate of this tomato recipe into the rice cooker,
10 minutes before the rice is cooked.
You can see the timer on the LED screen.
Safe time and safe gas.
