Recipes & Ideas

Tomato Season is here!

Earlier this week I made fresh tomato risotto, which, if you haven't tried- I would highly recommend. The Kitchn has a great recipe here. They also have a article on 11 easy 3 ingredient tomato salads, which I love. All of them would make great side dishes for a week night meal.

I would also highly recommend this amazing roasted tomato pesto form Oh She Glows. . IF you're ready to turn the oven on. The heat has broken, so it's not as crippling as it was last week, and this dish is highly satisfying. Another great thing to do with the oven- is to make baked tomato and eggs for breakfast. It's especially luxurious for weekend brunch, and goes well with mimosas. This recipe uses cherry tomatoes- but I have also done it with chopped Romas or Heirlooms. If using those- I would recommend pre-baking to tomatoes until some of their juice has evaporated off, before adding the eggs.

Serious Eats published this interesting article about Tomato Storage. It recommends that if you're going to eat your peak-season tomatoes within 24 hours, to leave on the counter- BUT if you're not going to use them for a few days, to put them in the refrigerator.
