Tomatoes

[Deleted]

I have so many. Several cherry varieties and heirloom. What's your favorite way to eat them?

If you have a foolproof pasta sauce or salsa recipe, I'd love to hear it.

First off I am so very jealous. Tomato sauce is the first thing that came to mind for me. I love this one. I only made it once but it was delicious.

For salsa I just kind of throw things together. This looks like a good basic recipe that has the few things I use. I have to be careful with how much of the jalapeño or whatever hot peppers I use because sometimes when they are fresh they take over all the flavors and add way too much heat.

Also I throw all the ingredients into a food processor because I am lazy and that would take forever to chop by hand.

Finally I haven't tried this recipe yet but it's on my list since I finally found the pasta.

I love fresh heirlooms, sliced with burrata and a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt.

If I can keep cherry tomatoes on hand I throw them in pasta salad or green salads. But more often than not, my 5 year old eats them like candy.

In the summer I also love a really simple pasta dish - spaghetti dressed with chopped tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and feta.

My darn kid will not eat the cherry tomatoes.

Quarter the cherry tomatoes, sliver garlic thinly, chiffonade some basil and marinate it in a very generous amount of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper for an hour and then put it on top of grilled bread for the best bruschetta.

I feel like your child is probably the normal one in this comparison.

Chicken caprese

Saute or grill chicken
Top with sliced tomato, mozz, and basil.
Broil until cheese is melted.

So good and easy too.

Caprese and bruschetta mostly. And caprese paninis. I have never made my tomato sauce with fresh tomatoes but I don't see how that could be a bad idea.

Caprese salad with fresh tomatoes is the absolute best.

This Greek chicken recipe uses a lot of cherry tomatoes and is an easy summer dish:

Everyone in my house devours it and I put it out at a party a couple of weeks ago and it went super quick. I hope you enjoy!

gazpacho is great for using up tomatoes.

this tomato salad with brie is simple and sooooo good with crusty bread.

@rocknroll, Roasted Tomato Basil Soup
