Notes
Waste not, want not. There is a use for the scooped out tomato in this Swiss poached perch recipe. Serve the tomatoes as a side to the perch and there are not leftovers.
Why sugar? Tomatoes are acid and a little sugar makes their taste more palatable.
It is perfectly all right to use leftover mashed potatoes. If in a hurry, use prepared instant mash.
When seasoning the filling, remember the potato mash already has already been seasoned and the cheese is savory. There would not be any need for extra salt, and only a dash of pepper should be required.
Substitute butter with margarine or cooking oil spray, if you wish.
