Sounds like a simple yet tasty way to eat some of that summer bounty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe, Phillip. I'll have to give it a try sometime. Maybe this weekend if I can get my hands on some cherry maters from the farmers market :)
ReplyDeleteI'm another person who likes to grow tomatoes, but isn't as into eating them. that said, this recipe sounds amazing. I'll have to get my family on board and try it soon.
ReplyDeleteI roast Roma tomatoes somwhat like this and freeze them in plastic bags for soup and bruscetta in the winter. They are so yummy, they would make a great pasta topping.
ReplyDeletePhilip, I can taste that recipe! it is similar to a dish I have eaten in a restaurant and loved. Thanks! The fact is, I don't like most store-bought tomatoes. Homegrown ones have far superior flavor. We have just a few garden tomatoes left. We have recently pulled most of the tomato plants from the garden, as they were suffering from all the ravages of summer and were no longer producing. I will miss them.
ReplyDeleteYour recipe looks good, but I'm with Michael.
ReplyDeleteThis is how I eat a tomato: I walk outside and locate a tomato vine. Rub the leafs and inhale the aroma. Zero in on a ripe tomato. Release from vine. Take a bite. Repeat.
I will probably try it your way too :-)
Mmmm, delish! I've been making salsa with mine, and spaghetti sauce made with bacon instead of ground beef.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, Your garden is lovely. I'm trying to convince my husband into moving to the PNW. How do you like it so far? I love cooler weather (I'm in Georgia, near Atlanta). The gardening is obviously fantastic but you always have a beautiful garden no matter where you are, lol. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I love it here and the weather is the best part. I like so many other things. It is so different from the South.
