Seeding TomatoesSummer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

What a nice change for stuffed peppers...I think we actually preferred stuffed peppers this way than the traditional way...I didn't have fresh tomatoes on hand so I used canned diced tomatoes & that worked well...I will definitely be making this again (especially since it was a hit with my husband too!)

Based on Liz's review, I substituted a can of Mild RoTel diced tomatoes & green chilies for the fresh tomatoes. It really "kicked it up a notch"! I also added some leftover Spanish rice; instead of the garnishes recommended, I sprinkled grated Mexican cheese combo on top and microwaved for approx. 30 sec. to melt. It was very yummy and I will make it again ~ as modified ~.
