What is a Creole Tomato?
A true Creole Tomato is grown in the river parishes south of New Orleans. The soil and the climate make the tomato a “Creole”. The tomato is meaty, juicy, thick and a delicacy in south Louisiana. Nothing announces summer like
the Creole Tomato and snowballs. Locals wait for each to “come in season”.
We purchased Creole Tomatoes at the festival and have enjoyed them all week. Now we are down to our last big plump juicy delicacy – what to do with it? We decided to make a tuna salad and stuff the tomato which is large enough to share.
Mais C’est Bon!
Enjoy!!
