Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
5 1/2 tablespoon very thinly sliced scallions
20 cherry tomatoes -- (20 to 25)
2 teaspoon minced scallions -- green part only
fresh parsley sprigs or red-leaf lettuce

DIRECTIONS:

In small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and scallions. Cover and
chill. Prepare tomato cups by removing stems and slicing off a quarter of the
bottom of each tomato; they sit more securely on stem end. With the tip of a
knife, scoop out the pulp and gently squeeze out the seeds and juice. Discard
sliced-off caps, seeds, and juice. Using a teaspoon, stuff each tomato with some
of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the green pieces of scallion on top of each cup
for garnish. Chill as flavors blend for at least 30 minutes. Serve on a bed of
parsley or red-leaf lettuce. Serves: 10 with two tomato cups each.
