4/7/2012 Basket - Citrus Tilapia and Provencal "Stuffed" Tomatoes

Citrus Tilapia
Uses from this basket: Grapefruit, orange


  • 8 tilapia filets
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ground ginger
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 grapefruit, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (you can also cook these on the grill if you want). Get four large squares of foil and place two filets in the middle of each square. Sprinkle the filets with salt, pepper, and ginger. Place two thin slices of orange and two thin slices of grapefruit on the filets in each foil square. Wrap the fish inside the foil to create a packet. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until fish is white and flakes easily.
*Note that the grapefruit can give a pretty sour kick to the fish so if you're not a grapefruit lover, try lemon slices instead.

Provencal "Stuffed" Tomatoes
Uses from this basket: Tomato
Other produce: Garlic


  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp plus 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp basil
  • Parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut tomatoes in half width-wise. Place in a baking dish, cut side up. Generously season with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 Tbsp oil.
Combine 1/4 cup oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, and a pinch of salt in a food processor and process until well blended--the mixture should be wet but crumbly. Press crumb mixture onto tomato halves and bake for 15 minutes or until tops are browned and tomatoes are warmed through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
