Deviled Tomatoes
Who knew that stuffing Roma tomatoes with a luxurious, creamy chickpea filling could perfectly replace deviled eggs?? I didn’t until I created this recipe. I used to LOVE deviled eggs before I went plant-based. These babies are perfect to bring as a cover dish to a potluck or to create a lovely presentation on your own table for a special event. I hope you will try these. You’ll be amazed at the similarity!
Ingredients
12 Roma or plum tomatoes (try to get them all the same size and about the size of a large egg)
1½ cups (1 can) no-salt-added chickpeas, drained
1 TBS tahini
2 TBS raw cashew butter
¼ cup water
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
2 tsp yellow mustard
2 tsp curry powder
½ tsp Kala Namak salt (adds that special eggy flavor and aroma)
¼ tsp turmeric
paprika and fresh parsley for garnish
Method
Cut the tomatoes in half, lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and pulpy flesh and discard or compost.
Place all remaining ingredients in food processor and purée until smooth and creamy. Depending on how firm your chickpeas are, this could take up to about 5 minutes.
