Servings: 12
36 large cherry tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup cottage cheese, low-fat
1 1/2 tsp onion, minced
1/2 tsp horseradish, prepared
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 lb crabmeat, drained and flaked
1/2 cup celery, minced
1 Tbsp green bell pepper
1 dash parsley
1. Cut the tops off the tomatoes with a small knife and remove the
pulp with a small spoon. Use demitasse spoons, if you have them, or
a small spoon with a pointed tip.
2. Sprinkle the insides of each tomato with salt. Invert the tomatoes
on paper towels and let them drain while you prepare the filling.
3. Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and process
until smooth (about 2 minutes). Add the onion, horseradish, lemon juice,
and garlic powder and process 1 minute more. Stir in the crabmeat, celery,
and green pepper.
4. Stuff each tomato with some of the crabmeat filling. Arrange on a
serving platter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Garnish each tomato with parsley.
