What would you do with a shitton of tomatoes?

[jane6672]

Our garden is producing quite the volume of tomatoes, and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.

I know I want to make some sauces and freeze some, but what recipes do you like with tomatoes? I want to eat more fresh ones before the season is over.

Salsa!

[Nicole]

pasta sauce, tomato soup, salsa

i have always wanted to make sun-dried tomatoes.

I have this same "problem"...I've been eating a shitton of tomato sandwiches and caprese salads and tomato salads.

[wedbliss5]

Hell, when pregnant all I ate was tomatoes with a little salt and pepper - who needs recipes?

Caprese salads are another good one.

[alzi]

Salsa
BLT if you are a meat eater

This isn't a recipe, but I love to make "salads" with either quinoa or orzo or couscous and chop up a fresh tomatoes, cukes, add either black beans or chickpeas, etc and toss with some balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Tomato and fresh mozz in any combination

[Deleted]

Salsa. canned tomatoes.

Oh, for fresh tomatoes I love tomato salad. I just cut up some tomatoes and red onion, add a little salt, maybe a hot pepper and eat. So good.

[vicky]

We make sauce and tomato jam. Tomato jam is delicious!!

[annyong]

Send them to His.

[walterismydog]

Oh, if you have any fairly firm varieties, I made an awesome tomato-basil-goat cheese omelette the other day. SO good. Cut them, salt, and put on paper towels for a few minutes before cooking to get out excess moisture.

[annyong]

Just kidding.

I'd make salsa. And sauce. And chili. And minestrone soup. And a shit ton of caprese salads.

[janegold]

I love roasted tomatoes. So good in sandwiches, wraps, pasta, etc.

[Nicole]

also you could make homemade chili, freeze it and bring it out for the first rainy day this fall.

omg, now i want to do that.

[laptopvixen]

I suppose you can hollow them out, stuff them and bake them as you would with stuffed peppers...

is fantastic.

[sweetcaroline10]

roast them in the oven with garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, or basil and blend with chicken stock/cream for tomato soup.

[Jalapeñomel]

Soups, canned tomatoes, give them to friends

Would you post the recipe for tomat jam please?

I wasn't the poster who suggested it, but the one I really like is Giada DeLaurentiis' recipe, but it uses sundried tomatoes rather than fresh: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/crostini-with-sun-dried-tomato-jam-recipe/index.html

It is so good on sandwhiches or crostini with goat cheese.

[PinkSquirrel]

Toss together/layer some tomato, mozzarella (you can even cut up string cheese, but it's not quite as delicious). Top with pesto and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Eat

[missanne]

Salsa! My mom just made some awesome salsa with fresh tomatoes!

[Overthemoon]

We made the La Madeleine tomato basil soup and it was SO good:

[nadasteph]

I sliced some the other night, drizzled EVOO and basalmic on it, then topped it with some feta mousse as an appetizer. Yum.

[Bonita]

We have sooooo many tomatoes as well! We have made Salsa, eat them plain with a little salt, put them on burgers and sandwiches, used some of them in misc. recipes.

I'm making this tonight:


Recipe here: bit.ly/MOmbVl

I'm pretty excited to try it

My husband is eating a bowl full of the baby tomatoes and the squishing sounds are going to make me hurl.

Also, he takes a bite of a tomato, dips it in SUGAR and then eats it. I told him if he sucks one more tomato I'm going to make him eat them by shoving them in his ASS.

A new kind of popper!

[scotty]

Make-a the sauce-a.

[Blue Moon]

Make this soup, best thing I've done with my tomatoes so far- www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/cream-of-fresh-tomato-soup-recipe/index.html

I also like them chopped and sautéed with zucchini, garlic, and olive oil, with fresh basil sprinkled on top.

Gazpacho! How come no one said that yet? Yummmmmm. Google "Wegmans gazpacho recipe". That's my favorite recipe so far.
