Cook until the pulp disintegrates into the sauce, about 2 minutes, stirring often. Transfer to a bowl and let<br />

cool slightly.<br />

Stuff the hollowed tomatoes with this mixture and place upright in a baking pan. If they will not stand<br />

because of their point ends, place a crumpled piece of aluminium foil on the bottom of the baking pan and<br />

make small hollows in the foil to support the tomatoes upright. Or you can use a muffin pan…<br />

Just before serving, preheat oven to 400F / 200C / gas mark 6. bake the tomatoes until they are tender<br />

but retain their colour and shape, 7- 12 minutes (the timing will vary with the firmness and size of the<br />

tomatoes. Do not over bake or the tomatoes will darken and their skin will wrinkle. Serve immediately.<br />

Saak Bhate – pureed greens with chilli and coconut over rice<br />

5 ½ cups (1 litre 375ml) firmly packed slivered greens (mustard greens, collards, kale, fresh spinach).<br />

1 tbsp mustard oil<br />

2 tsp black mustard seeds, ground to a powder, mixed with 2 tsp water and allowed to stand for 30<br />

minutes<br />

1 green chilli seeded and chopped<br />

¼ tsp salt<br />

2 tbsp dried flaked or shredded sweetened coconut or freshly grated or shredded coconut mixed with ¼<br />

tsp sugar<br />

plain boiled rice<br />

Method<br />

Bring 3-4 tbsp water to a boil in a large, deep sided pan. Add the slivered greens. Cover and turn heat<br />

to medium low, and steam until the greens are tender but still retain their color, 4-5 minutes. If using<br />

spinach, you need only a minute or two.<br />

To puree the greens: Do this in batches: place about 2 tbsp water and about 2 cups of cooked greens in<br />

a blender. Don’t use any more water then necessary to achieve a smooth puree.<br />

Place the pureed greens in a sieve about 5 inches (2.5cm) in diameter. Rest the sieve over a tall tumbler<br />

to catch the drippings. With the back of a large spoon, press down on the greens to squeeze out<br />

moisture. About a cup of liquid will be released into the tumbler. When no more moisture comes out, set<br />

the greens aside.<br />

Heat oil in a skillet over medium low heat. Add mustard paste and green chilli and stir a few times,<br />

keeping the skillet partially covered if the mustard paste starts to splatter. Add the greens and salt and stir<br />

a few times. Add coconut and mix well. Remove from heat. Serve about 2 tbsp per person on top of<br />

boiled rice.<br />
