Pampered Chef Help Whip Cancer Tomato Knife


Good Monday morning, great weekend I hope for all! Even though it is not tomato season we have been using our "pink" tomato knife regularly in the mmm test kitchen and love it!!!!
We promised 3 things to do with tomatoes and our final recipe is.......Tomato stuffed with Tzatziki

Ingredients:
10 sweet cocktail tomatoes, halved and tomatoes removed
Tzatziki dip:
2 cups plain yogurt
1 cucumber, unpeeled and seeded
1 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tbsp. sherry vinegar
1 lemon freshly squeezed
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove minced garlic
1 tbsp. minced fresh dill
salt and black pepper
To make Tzatziki, place the yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined sieve or you can also use a strong quality paper towel and set it over a bowl to drain....usually 2- 3 hours but I prefer to do this the night before I need it! Grate the cucumber on a box grater and toss with 1 tbsp of kosher salt, place it over another cheesecloth-lined sieve and leave for 2- 3 hours or overnight.
Transfer yogurt thickened yogurt to a mixing bowl and then drain cucumbers again by hand and add to the yogurt. Mix in the sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dill and salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff each tomato and with the tzatziki, topped with a little more dill and enjoy a great appetizer using your Pampered Chef tomato knife available for sale at http://www.pamperedchef.ca/ordering/shopOnline.tpc. Best part about the knife is that a dollar of every purchase supports the research of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. I hope everyone has a good week. Keep cooking once, producing twice!
