Preparation

  1. In a 10-inch quiche dish, combine butter, olive oil, shallots, garlic and salt. Cook, covered tightly with microwave plastic wrap, at 100 percent for 4 minutes.
  2. Core tomatoes. Cut a ”lid” from the top of each, and, if necessary, a small slice from the bottom so that it will stand upright. Scoop flesh and seeds from each tomato to leave a shell for stuffing. Coarsely chop flesh and tops and set aside.
  3. Prick each tomato shell through the skin 5 to 6 times. Sprinkle the inside with salt and pepper. Arrange tomatoes in a ring in a dish just large enough to hold them and at least 2 inches deep.
  4. Stir chopped tomatoes, chanterelles, herbs and orzo into shallot mixture. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap and cook at 100 percent for 7 minutes. Uncover and stir in parsley, mozzarella and pepper. Divide mixture among tomato shells. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap and cook 100 percent for 5 minutes. Serve immediately, or let cool to room temperature and refrigerate; reheat, covered, for 1 minute 30 seconds before serving.
