CutVegetarian tomato recipes?
Too bad you don't want tomato soup! I've got a few really good recipes and it's great gazpacho weather.
I would suggest dicing the tomatoes if they're large (quarter roma tomatoes and halve large cherry tomatoes, leave smaller cherry tomatoes whole) and tossing them with similarly-sized chunks of fresh mozzarella, basil cut in chiffonade, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a bit of kosher salt and black pepper.
Do you like Bloody Mary's? They're pretty easy to make... this is a gazpacho-inspired one. Peel the tomatoes (you can de-seed if you want), then put them into a blender with some peeled cucumber, de-stringed celery, and a little bit of fresh horseradish if you like it. Add hot sauce and booze.
I think tomatoes are good stuffed. They're also good roasted (they caramelize and get all uber-num). Just brush with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and put on some pressed garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, etc if you want.
If you REALLY have a lot, consider making your own tomato sauce and tomato paste so you have great pasta sauce all winter long. You could also make your own chili and can that. (Canning is a bit of a production, but it's really easy.)
Last suggestion: wash and stem a ton of those cute little cherry and pear tomatoes. The smaller, the better! The size of a golf ball is a bit too big. You want closer to gumball. :-) Melt a tablespoon or two of butter in a skillet (you can add some olive oil if you want). Heat it over medium to medium-high. Once it's all melted and hot, dump in the tomatoes and start shaking the skillet back and forth pretty quickly. The tomatoes will start to burst open. This is good. Once about a third to half of them are burst, add a couple of tablespoons of minced fresh herbs. Rosemary is really good. Basil obviously works, too. I would not use sage or mint here, but experiment. Keep shaking for another thirty seconds or so. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve. Ta-da! Another couple of yummy additions are pressed garlic just before you add the herbs and a good pour of half-and-half or cream after the herbs have started releasing their fragrance. If you go the dairy route, you need to cook it a bit longer so it thickens up.
Try a tomato-zucchini gratin. I got this from Vegetarian Times magazine:
take 2 lbs of tomatoes and 2 lbs of zucchini and slice about 1/4 inch. Drape them over a colander and sprinkle salt all over to help draw out the moisture. Let sit for about 45 minutes. Then rinse the zucchini and pat dry. Wipe the tomatoes with a paper towel.
Saute the zucchini in a skillet with 2 tsp of olive oil over med-high heat until browned.
Meanwhile, chop up about 2 TBS kalamatta olives and thinly slice 4 cloves of garlic. You'll also need 1/4 Cup chopped basil and 3/4 Cup grated parmesan cheese.
Begin layering your ingredients in a 8 or 9 inch greased baking dish. Start with a layer of zucchini, then tomatoes, Sprinkle 1Tbs olives, half of basil and garlic and 1/4 Cup parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Then repeat with a second layer using up all the ingredients.
Drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil. Bake in 375 degree oven for about 15 min, remove foil and bake for another 10 until top is browned and bubbly. Bon Apetite!
Salsa
Pico de gallo
You can make spagettis sauce and freeze it too.
1 pound uncooked spaghetti
1 cup broccoli florets
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced carrots
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add spaghetti and return water to a boil. Cook until spaghetti is al dente; drain well.
Combine broccoli, corn, mushrooms, carrots and tomato sauce in large sauce pot. Cook on medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to keep sauce from sticking. Serve sauce over spaghetti.
Bruschetta is always a winner!
Chop the tomatoes and mix in a bowl with chopped fresh basil and fresh minced garlic, to taste. Add a little olive oil, if desired, and serve over toasted bread.
