The CookingBites recipe challenge: tomatoes

[garlichead]

I am told that yellow tomatoes are sweeter than the red varieties. I don't know the truth of that yet.

Less acidic generally which can translate into sweeter.

Here's another photo, one of the tomato tomatillo vierge being used on toast with a nice glass of spicy hot (V8) tomato juice.

For those looking for something tomato to do for the challenge, try Hungarian goulash or goulash soup. It's usually made with beef and vegetables. It's great for the winter soup fans out there. There's also a Hungarian cattleman's soup called Gulyasleves that is worth taking a look at.

I'll be looking to do one of these sometime next year, but won't get time to do so for this tomato challenge.

Recipe - Tomato Puff Pastry Tart

I was so pleased with the intense tomato flavor in the Tomato Confit. I want to use it in multiple recipes. With only bland tomatoes available the Confit is a great flavor boost.

I can post 2 more recipes for the challenge and one will be "Dutch Cheese Sandwich" and the other "Tomato Pie." If I pull these recipes off like I want to, both will use puff pastry.

Recipe - Tomato Fritters

Pan-fried fritters filled with chopped tomato and onion? Yes, please!

These are an ideal side dish to almost any meal, and with the bits of red in there, along with the golden exterior, quite a pretty one as well. They'd also make a perfect appetizer.

Light and crispy, very tomatoey, it's a little bite of summer all year round, thanks to using canned tomatoes, which I think work better than fresh, if I'm honest, even during tomato season.

I wish I'd had the forethought to get a shot of the interior, but we gobbled these right down.

TastyReuben as an appy, would you say that a sauce might work and what sort would you suggest?

I think a creamy mayonnaise/yogurt/sour cream dip, made with a little buttermilk, would be great, especially with fresh basil in there, and a lot of fresh-cracked black pepper.

I wanted to add that these will sometimes be served with breakfast with maple syrup poured on them. I've never tried that, and I'm not going to try that, but it's one of the ways they're commonly served.
