Out of Print, Used & Rare

“[Chef] Terry has earned a reputation for offering gracious dining in an elegant setting. She describes the food at her restaurant as Southern cuisine with a historical reference. Most of the dishes are based on old Southern recipes and draw on indigenous ingredients…”

Serves 4

4 medium tomatoes
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
8 ounces button mushrooms, wiped clean and diced
1 pound fresh spinach, stemmed, washed, dried, and chopped or
chopped frozen spinach, thawed
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Slice about 1/2 inch off the top of tomatoes, remove core and seeds, and turn upside down on paper towel to drain.
In a large skillet, warm oil over high heat, then add mushrooms. Sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and spinach. Cover and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with pepper, and toss with the cheese.
Stuff the reserved tomatoes with spinach mixture. Bake about 5 minutes, or until hot throughout.
