Don’t throw it all away (2)…

Looking through the fridge yesterday, I found a carrot and a potato – left overs from the X’mas party. Now what on earth would I be able to cook with those? There was also a bag of tomatoes that I had bought but never got to use. In the end, I decided to use them for a vegetable dish.

I cut the tomatoes on one end and scoop out what was inside each of them…

…and after cutting the carrot and potato into little cubes, I boiled them and drained…

…and mixed them with what was inside the tomatoes. There was a bit of dressing left from my wife’s potato salad that night, so I threw that into the mixing bowl as well…

…and added a bit of chopped cheddar cheese slices and chopped Chinese celery…

After mixing them well, I stuffed the tomatoes.

Now, how would I be able to make the tomatoes stand considering that they were all well-rounded on one end? I had an idea and cut a portion of an egg tray and wrapped that with aluminium foil…

Then I placed the stuffed tomatoes…

…in the “holes”…

…and put the whole thing into the oven to bake. This was the end result…

Perhaps it would be nicer with some chopped ham or bacon or even tuna but I wanted a vegetable dish, so I decided against adding any meat or fish to it. It was nice enough the way it was…

…and we finished all that in one sitting. That certainly spoke volumes, wouldn’t you agree? And the best part was that nothing was wasted. I certainly did not throw anything away…
