Recipe: Zesty Stuffed Tomatoes (using cottage cheese, 1960's)

ZESTY STUFFED TOMATOES

6 large firm tomatoes
Tomato pulp
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 small onion, minced
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups creamed cottage cheese
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
Paprika
2 tbsp. chopped stuffed olives

Wash tomatoes. Hollow out center of each and remove the pulp. Turn tomatoes upside down to drain. Chill.

Dice tomato pulp and drain it well. Combine with green pepper, onion, olives, celery, mayonnaise and cottage cheese. Add Worcestershire sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Fill each tomato with the cottage cheese mixture, sprinkle the top with paprika and chill thoroughly. Prepare far enough in advance so the flavors in the filling are well blended.
