Garden tomatoes?!
Garden tomatoes?
I have a bunch of tomatoes from the garden. I'm looking for a recipe I may not have already thought of for them. I know how about salsa, pasta sauce, and bruchetta. Any thing else creative and good you like to do with your tomatoes?
Answers:
One of our favorite things to do with tomatoes fresh out of the garden is to use them for toasted tomato sandwiches. Toast two slices of bread, spread them with mayonnaise or miracle whip, slice the tomatoes and put on the bread (add a little salt and pepper if you like), top with other slice of bread and enjoy.
BAKED TOMATO SAUCE
20 Roma tomatoes, halved and seeded
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup finely diced onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme leaves
1 cup white wine
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans place tomato halves cut side up. Sprinkle with oil, salt and pepper, onion, garlic, and herbs. Bake tomatoes for 2 hours. Check the tomatoes after 1 hour and turn down the heat if they seem to be cooking too quickly. Then turn the oven to 400 degrees and bake another 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and process tomatoes through a food mill on medium dye setting over a small saucepan. Discard skins. Add white wine, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
