Tomatoes - what to do with them

[Yorky]

Or you could emulate my wife this morning and cook Nam ngiao (น้ําเงี้ยว) to serve with noodles and a load of other stuff:

It's made from tomatoes (obviously), the soaked dried flowers of the Dokngio tree (ดอกเงี้ยว) and the horrendously hot chili sauce from North of Chiang Mai. This is it cooking:

These are the dried "flowers":

And this is the curry paste which her mum sends in 2 kg packs by courier!

That looks great! But where to get dokingio flowers?

Actually they were sent from the north also. However, an inferior 'brand' is available in Makro here (but maybe not in Kent).

Maybe we should add them to the "Difficult to find ingredients" threadhttps://www.cookingbites.com/threads/difficult-to-find-ingredients.9111/

There's nothing quite like fried tomatoes with a bit of bacon, a fried egg, black pudding, mushrooms, fried bread....... Need I go on?

I usually add a couple of half fried tomatoes with steak and mushrooms, but I generally prefer poached eggs.

A friend's wife delivered a bag of freshly picked tomatoes this evening. There are red ones, green ones, small ones, ones as big as yer 'ead. I'll take a picture tomorrow.

And I've just finished making salsa.

Any suggestions would be be appreciated.

You can do just about anything with red tomatoes and I love tomatoes on cheese bread. Green tomatoes taste great fried.

I love this salad and basil always works with tomatoes.

Here in Nakhorn Nowhere this is called "Holy Basil".

This is going in my tomato sauce which I hope will accompany the pork chop which appears to have momentarily disappeared from the freezer.

The onion/garlic/basil puree was prepared by my new hand blender which a few of you encouraged me to buy. It arrived today - I'll post pictures tomorrow.

It actually did disappear. I ate it in January! Doh.

I froze the tomato sauce in three portions. It will come in handy when I order more chops next Friday.
