So many tomatos ,so few recipes?
Ive been overly blessed with minature tomatoes,they are plum shaped and not so minature but less meaty than a plum tomato.
perfectly sweet and juicy and great for salads.
problem is Ive run out of ways to serve them,Ive done all the tomato feta /tomato,olive/tomato mozzarella/tomato pesto things i can think of so this is my challenge to you .
recipes for all my tomatos,preferably cold btu what ever you have.
Answers:
CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
1/2 lb. bacon or 1 1/2 tbsp. Hormel bacon bits
2 pts. cherry tomatoes, halved
1 lg. cucumber, peeled & diced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 or 2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. sweet basil
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
1/3 c. salad oil
Cook bacon until crisp (if using). Drain and chop. Combine bacon, tomatoes, cucumber and onions. Sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper and basil. Mix well and chill. Combine vinegar and oil. Shake well. Pour over salad and toss.
SHRIMP IN CHERRY TOMATOES
1 (4 1/2 oz.) can shrimp
2 tbsp. minced onion
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 pt. cherry tomatoes
Clean out cherry tomatoes, leaving shell. Mix shrimp, mayonnaise and onion. Stuff shells with mixture. Pretty at picnics and barbecue.
SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATOES
10 cherry tomatoes, rinsed and patted dry
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
In a small heavy skillet, saute the tomatoes in the butter and oil over moderately high heat, stirring, for 3 minutes or until the skins begin to split. Swirl in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper and cook the tomatoes, stirring, for 1 minute.
This is great way to use extra garden cherry tomatoes. It's easy to double and triple the recipe according to the size of your skillet. Delicious with rice and chicken dishes.
