Zubereitung von Baked Tomatoes Stuffed With Orzo
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the tops off 4 large tomatoes (about 1 pound total). Gently scoop out the pulp and seeds, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pulp.
- Sprinkle the inside of each tomato with 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano.
- Place 4 cubes (about 1 ounce each) of fresh mozzarella cheese into each tomato.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup orzo pasta and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to coat.
- Gradually add 2 cups chicken broth, stirring until absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the orzo is almost cooked through but still slightly firm (about 10-12 minutes total).
- Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Stir in the reserved tomato pulp.
- Spoon the orzo mixture into the hollowed tomatoes, filling them to the top.
- Pour 1/2 cup of hot chicken broth into the bottom of a baking dish.
- Place the stuffed tomatoes in the baking dish.
- Bake, covered, for 15 minutes.
- Remove the cover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender and the orzo is heated through.
