Chopping Tomato For Stuffed Baked Cucumbers

Video Transcript

"This is Richard Buccola here in New York City and today on behalf of Expert Village, I am going to show you how to make stuffed cucumbers. All right you see I got this to the desired consistency and size that I wanted. If I see any big pieces, I am going to keep chopping. I am going to add that to my bowl right now. That is part of our stuffing and it is beautiful cucumber. So nice, it has such a great fragrance. Love cucumbers. With that I am going to grab our tomato and give that a quick wash and take off any tags. Okay these tomatoes, you want to look for nice tomatoes. These were grown in Holland hydroponically which just means they were grown with TLC. A lot of vitamins, a lot of nutrients. What we are going to do now, realize they are like $3 a pint. If you need to go for cheaper, that is fine too. You just want to cut your tomato in half. Use a nice tomato knife so if you don't have one, you are going to have to go out and get one because I keep telling you that your utensils will make you in your kitchen. Just cut your tomato in half like quarter inch slices across this way and we are just going to turn it that way and we are going to go same way, nice and easy; quarter inch slices straight down. That is your chopped tomato. If you want your pieces done smaller, it is okay. We can grab our chopping knife putting the point on the front of the blade and we are just going to work the back of the blade like so lifting it up and down till we get to the desired size of our tomato.
