    Stewed Tomatoes

    How do you use them? We use a 7-bone chuck roast to make a dish that is basically braised in stewed tomatoes. I use them to make my "Coney Island Sauce, a hotdog braise and a fresh green bean dish. We always have a can or two on hand as a pantry item.

    Recipe Flageolet bean & tomato salad

    Over the years I've veered away from using vinaigrettes in salads. I've found that even though I'm light-handed with the vinegar and much more heavy-handed with oil, I still find the taste of the vinegar a distraction. I much prefer a simple EVOO (lol) dressing for most simple cold salads. This...

    Recipe Roasted Tomato sauce

    I think the reason most recipes use paste or tinned tomatoes is because fresh tomatoes can be too watery to make a good sauce.

    No-salt tomato sauce made with... (gasp) "tomatoes"???

    Doc says no more salt for zeppenwolf. So my choices include either no-salt spaghetti sauce or a (relatively) good looking corpse. I have seen many brands that do make a low sodium sauce, but for some reason not really available at my closest stores. And I wanna cook my own anyhow...

    Recipe Tomato and Sardine Sourdough Tatin

    Another way to use up stale bread. Make sure the bread is baked in a low oven until perfectly dry - otherwise the base will be mushy! No precise measurements here. I used a 9 inch frying pan. Add another egg if you use a larger pan. For a vegetarian version, substitute strips of baked aubergine...

    Everglades Tomatoes

    Until 2014, we never knew that Florida had a native tomato. The Everglades tomato might just be the worlds smallest one. Not much bigger than a US dime.They are so small, to my knowledge, there isn't a commercial market for them. They are like little bursts of sweet, with a bold tomato flavor...
