Stuffed tomato...another one of those ubiquitious entities that can be banally boring or deliciously delectable. In my case, I suddenly had to have one. Spinach Florintine was to be the first course to another Turkish dish of okra and lamb (Etli Bamya) I had been yearning for since years (literally) ...although, not the ideal choice. But not having all the other goodies on hand for a decent Turkish first course of appetizers...I made do."Right. Ok, toss the rest of that bit of rice into the lamb broth (that was for the okra dish) , hull out two tomaotes, get them going under the grill. Get the spinach going. Sautéed with onion in butter." Humm, humm, humm all the while the okra and lamb dish is going.
Some of the rice I seasoned a little with dried dill and the usual and the rest went into the spinach. Just the yolk was topped with a little butter and the grill did the rest. Eggwhite was rescued for another event. Who knows?
So how did it do as a first course to the Etli Bamya? It did do well!
Check back here in a few days for the link to the recipe.
