the real summer fruit
tomatoes are everywhere!
my csa delivery yesterday consisted of a HUGE bag of cherry and slicing tomatoes.
things i do with tomatoes:
toasted bread, sliced cheddar, sliced tomatoes, salt and pepper.
tomato sauce with zucchini, summer squash, onions and ancho peppers on top of fettuccine.
tomato, green beans and balsamic salad.
tomato and basil and mozzarella: on grilled flatbread, mixed together in a salad, popped into my mouth before i can properly mix them all together.
salsa with hot peppers from my garden, cilantro, lime and salt.
put them all in a glass vase with and call it a center piece (i hope my pictures of that turn out!)
tonight i'm going to roast them and put them alongside chicken breast.
any other ideas of what to do with tomatoes?

ReplyDeleteThe tomato is a beautiful thing! I love to slow roast them with generous amounts of olive oil and salt, plop them in a jar, place them in the fridge, and snack on them daily.
