This simple recipe can be put together in 5 minutes, yet its presentation looks like a million bucks. Buy three ingredients at the grocery store for this stuffed tomato recipe: medium or large ripe tomatoes, poi and prepared lomi salmon.
Cut the top of the tomatoes (but keep them), then scoop out the middle of the tomato to make it into a bowl. Tip: Add the scoop of pulp to the lomi salmon mixture instead of discarding it.
Fill the tomato shell with lomi salmon and place the sliced top of the tomato as the lid, or just leave it without a lid.
Scoop poi on a plate or shallow bowl and arrange the filled tomatoes.
The vibrant red of the tomatoes provides a nice contrast with the gray of the poi.
As always, the savory mixture of lomi salmon with its salted salmon, onions, green onions and tomatoes are a good reason to eat poi.
