Ingredients

1 cup dried morel mushrooms
1 cup dried chanterelle mushrooms
1 cup dried shiitake mushrooms
1 cup warm water
3 cups white wine
6 medium tomatoes, cored, seeded plus 1 tomato, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup finely diced onion
1 1/4 cup panko crumbs (Japanese)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 1/2 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Put mushrooms, water, and wine into a container and soak until mushrooms are rehydrated. Remove mushrooms and squeeze out excess liquid. Reserve the liquid. Roughly chop mushrooms.

Sprinkle the cored and seeded tomatoes with salt and place upside down to drain. In a saute pan heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add shallots, garlic, and onion. Cook until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes then add 1/2 cup of the reserved mushroom liquid to pan and cook for another 4 or 5 minutes, or until most of liquid is absorbed. Add the panko and the chopped tomato and stir to combine. Season the mushroom mixture with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

Preheat the broiler. Mix together the room temperature goat cheese and parsley and reserve. Stuff each tomato with the mushroom stuffing and top with thin layer of goat cheese mixture. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet and put under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until cheese is slightly melted and golden.

OMG! SOOO YUMMY!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love Good Eats as well as just about every delectable concoction Alton comes up with in his culinary cranium! Not only was... this recipe delicious, it was also inspiring! I made the recipe as is; however, I took it a step further. I mixed some of my extra panko bread crumbs into the goat cheese mixture which gave it a great texture. Also, after I spread the goat cheese on top of the stuffed tomatoes, I topped it off with a little more panko breads crumbs and some melted butter. YUMMY! Also, I saved some of my panko-herbed-goat-cheese and used it as a "finishing butter" on the grilled flank steak we had with our stuffed tomatoes. You have got to try it! It is simply sinful! Thank you Alton for giving me and my fiance this delicious recipe to cook together and enjoy together!Read more

easy and flavorful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a really easy recipe that yielded great results. I followed it exactly, and the only change I would make is to use... a different cheese, for my own personal preference. I didn't really care for the goat cheese and felt another would work better. My husband, however, loved it as is, so that is just a change for my own tastes. Overall, a great recipe.Read more

Excellent, especially if you have good tomatoes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Excellent dish and very versatile. If you don't have panko, use bread crumbs. if you don't like goat cheese, use something... else. If you have bland tasting tomatoes, make something else. The secret to almost every tomato recipe is to use good, ripe summer tomatoes. A bland tomato will result in a bland dish.Read more

This recipe was easy, and so very tasty for a light summer supper. Since this was only for 2 of us, we have lots of mushroom... stuffing left over and will be using it to stuff pork. What a tasty dish with fresh tomatoes. AB does it again. All I can say is Thanks for expanding my recipe list.Read more
