Moms View Message Board: Cooking and Recipe Discussion: Vegetables: Need tomato recipes
I went out to the garden yesterday and started picking tomatoes. I lost count after 30, but I have 3 walmart sized bags full to the top. I have 3 different kinds, regular salad/sandwich type tomatoes, yellow pear shaped cherry tomatoes, and grape which grew to the size of plum tomatoes. I am trying to make sun dried (or oven dried actually) today, with some of them, but I definately can use some more ideas.
My Aunt makes a really good tomato pie. She buys the ready made pie crusts too. She peels and slices tomatoes. Then, she does a layer of tomato slices,drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil, and mozzarella cheese. She keeps layering, then covers with another pie crust and bakes. It's really yummy!
That sounds unbelievably delicious! What does she bake it at? 350 for an hour?
Ok Colette, I called the expert, my sister! LOL! She makes it all the time. It's been over a year since I've had it and I guess I just forgot!
Thanks Eve!
Mmmm, Eve, that sounds yummy. I'm going to give that one a try.
Bruschetta (sp?!)... toasted bread with tomatoes, olive oil, cuncks of mozzerella, and basil. I also made a chicken recipe the other day. Garden spiral pasta (tri-color), cut up chicken breasts, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, mozzerella... all tossed together. It was yummy. I cook without recipes, I usually just add amounts until it looks good, so I couldn't tel you how much I put of each ingredient... just have some fun with it!!

Stir in spinach; cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Cut off tops of tomatoes; scoop out centers, leaving shell intact.

Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise and remove and discard the seeds and pulp, leaving the shells intact. Set on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, mayonnaise, vinegar and garlic; add salt and pepper to taste. Fill the tomato shells with the bread crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and the stuffing is heated through. Sprinkle with the basil just before serving. *Instead of plum tomatoes, you may use two large garden tomatoes; halve crosswise. Increase the baking time to 25 - 30 minutes, then check for doneness. Allow one half per person.
