Vegan Stuffed Tomatoes

Lately, there’s been a big buzz on social media about the “What the Health” documentary on Netflix. I created my stuffed tomatoes with balsamic vinegar recipe because of it.

If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth the information the 90-minute documentary is revealing about big corporations and our food.

You would never think that non-profits whose mission is to help people live a healthier life would have a problem talking about diet. This documentary has everyone considering going vegan but I’m well aware of the shelf life of trends. I drew inspiration from the documentary and created a vegan dish stuffed tomato that I would love.

I would admit it, I’ve had thoughts about doing a vegetarian/ vegan diet for a day, yes only one day. It was a few years ago but I never made a true commitment to it. I just thought it would be good to dedicate a whole day to vegetables to maximizing my diet and reap the benefits. I still have not committed and I can’t say I see it happening in the near future. I did take a vow that I would do a 14 day all vegan diet.

Although, we never know what the future holds, I’ve definitely invested in some new cookbooks that are vegan and vegetarian so I can stay current.

Stuffed Tomatoes with Balsamic Vinegar Cooking Tips:

Below is a stuffed creole tomato with onion, bell pepper, corn, garlic, mushrooms and a balsamic reduction. This is a recipe that I’ve been making for the last 8 summers when tomatoes and corn are fresh in season.

Normally, I have some turkey tasso and butter in the dish to maximize flavor but I wasn’t allowed to add them this time around.

Can you make ahead?

Fridge: Tomatoes can be made a day or two in advance. After they cool off, place in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days max.

Reheating: Pop in a 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes.

Substitution Options:

Fill free to add cheese or crab to the stuffing.

Feel free to try it vegan first then recreate it with shredded chicken, sausage, lump crab meat or with smoked gouda.

The recipe is open to all interpretations. I hope you enjoy this vegan deliciousness for at least one meal.
