As a Spaniard I love to see how you try spanish dishes! Gazpacho and Salmorejo are both typical dishes from Andalucía but Salmorejo is known to be specifically from the region of Córdoba and people there are very proud of it. The classic recipe couldn't be easier: 1kg of tomatoes, 100g of extra virgin olive oil, 200g of bread, a garlic clove and 10g of salt. After you blend the tomatoes you want to strain the puree to get rid of the seeds and get a smoother texture and then you blend everything else. Of course there's no better topping than Jamón Ibérico though that pizza recipe was mouthwatering tbh hahaha
I ate this like 13 years ago in an office cafeteria in Sevilla and it's remained my favorite soup ever. A guy that was eating there shared his mother's version (he adds a cooked egg when blending and a dash of vinegar ) I've made it so much throughout the years.
I grew up on Gazpacho but I only discovered Salmorejo later in life. But there is nothing better than making this with your own (very ripe) tomatoes! In summer, this is a complete meal: you have all the vitamins and minerals of the tomatoes (or in case of gazpacho, of cucumber and peppers as well), the healthy fat of the olive oil, the starch from the bread and the protein from the egg and jamón. Good to have it in your fridge like in Almodóvars movie (Women on the brink of nervous breakdown).
In Sweden here, I so wish we got Spanish and Italian tomatoes. All we get are the Netherlands' red rubber balls. Today I picked the first and the last of my Swedish tomato harvest, been trying to grow a good tomato for 15 years. Maybe next year it will happen.
Mix together 5cm piece of ginger grated, 3 cloves garlic grated, 2 tsp black onion (nigella) seeds 1tsp fennel seeds, 1-2 tsp cumin seeds lightly crushed, 1/2tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp chilli powder, 2tsp sea salt and 6 tablespoons olive oil in a large roasting tin. Add 6 baby aubergines/eggplants or 2 large ones sliced and 400g of cherry tomatoes, halved. Toss so everything is well coated and arrange aubergine slices on top of the tom's. Roast at 200C/160C fan for 40-45 mins. I find it's best to give everything a bit of a stir 1/2 way through and maybe add a little water if it's looking a bit dry. The tomatoes should much down to a nice sauce. This is an ultra lazy version of a Madhur Jaffrey recipe. A very mild but really tasty vegan curry. I suspect that you could swop the aubergines for cauliflower florets but haven't tried yet. Also why not fill your freezer with a tomato base which can become soup, bolognese sauce, chicken casserole, pizza sauce etc etc. I roast the tomatoes while sweating down chopped onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Peel the tomatoes if needed and then add to the soffrito, blitz roughly with a hand blender, add herbs and simmer on a low heat until the juices have thickened - 1-2 hours. Season at the end because it's difficult not to overdo it if you season before it's reduced. Adding carrots means you don't need any sugar. You can add tomato paste before the tomatoes (so you can cook it out) and it will thicken faster. I think salmorejo is one of the classic national dishes that most European countries have for using stale bread with cheap plentiful ingredients. I was rather horrified that you put your iberico in the pizza oven, but I will definitely try the tomato feta pasta sauce. Who cares what it looks like if it tastes yummy!
Spanish here, i've grown eating salmorejo and i can swear it's an absolute treat to have in the summer heat, over here it's standard to blanch the tomatoes and peel them afterwards so the salmorejo takes a much smoother texture. Also there's a wide range in the consistency from soup to straight up drink, it mostly depends on which one you prefer, here at my house we also throw small pieces of cucumber as topping and my mother tends to throw an apple to add a bit of sweet in there. Been following you since a long time and love your videos, i've learnt so much about cooking from you.
Loved all the recipes! One of my favorite ways to use up tomatoes is something my aunt in Korea used to make for me whenever I would visit. She cuts up the tomatoes into big chunks and freezes them, then blends them up with some milk and sweetener into a delicious and refreshing smoothie. Tomato in a dessert may sound odd but tomato popsicles are a popular dessert in Korea and this smoothie is my aunt’s own version of that! So good!
I really love the direction you’ve started taking with your channel! I grow everything I can at home, and have been searching for the best ways to use all of my surplus produce. I’ve found lots of cool recipes and ideas out there, but I really appreciate your succinct and thorough explanations. I’ve been a long time follower, never commented. Your perfectly timed tomato vid prompted me to finally let you know how helpful I find the great info and quality video production you offer. Honestly, thanks a million. You’ve made a huge difference in how I cook, ferment and preserve over the last few years. 🙏🏼❤️
I never even considered roasting my tomatoes in my air fryer. Thank you so much for that idea! We have hundreds of cherry tomatoes to use up, so I’ll probably try most of these recipes ;)
Ive roasted my cherry tomatoes with garlic and onions then run through the squeezo thing on my kitchenaid mixer for years now. The flavor is so different and sweeter than some of the larger tomatoes. Don't get me wrong I love big tomatoes for my red sauce but the mixed color cherry tomato sauce has its own charm too. But too many yellow ones in the mix gives you a weird light orange sauce lol
I love all the fancy tomato based dishes, from pasta to soup. But I like what you said about childhood and how nothing can beat it. For me that is an old fashioned tomato sandwich with salt, pepper and a thin layer of mayo. When I have fresh tomatoes at home, I just can’t resist a tomato sandwich.
You have basically done all my favourite tomato recipes in one video. This is my first year getting an abundance of tomatoes and the way we used them up most days was to add to our garden lettuce and cucumber in a basic side salad. That way I got to have them in every single meal!
I made the butter chicken tonight and while I agree with him that it's not an authentic butter chicken IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I marinated the chicken overnight, roasted the tomatoes and onion in my air fryer like he suggests in another video, and it all came together beautifully. I practically licked the bowl. Thank you for this delicious and lighter version!
One of my favorite tomato recipes is inspired by a trip to Malaga, Spain, in which they serve porra as a dip with bread. I, however, love it on pizza as a sauce. In addition, it also freezes pretty well for later. You will need: 1 kg tomatoes (peeled and deseeded), 2 garlic cloves, 2 large red sweet peppers, 2 TBS sherry vinegar, olive oil, bread to thicken. Blend all together until very thick.
I've made the cherry tomato feta as an appetizer, plus add artichoke and served with toasted bread. Never thought to combine it all into a pasta dish! Looks amazing.
Fermented tomatoes! Which I honestly probably learned from you- been watching for years and hardly ever miss a video. I cook about every meal from home for our family and you have influenced so much creativity and technique for me in the kitchen! Thank you! We’d be absolutely overjoyed with a pizza oven!!!
i also had an abundance of cherry tomatoes this season. Great to see you do these recipes. Fresh tomatoes on a pizza with a little Moz and basil is a quick treat. I really like a Tomato Jam recipe I used. It is great on everything (even pizza). Love all of your post, Please keep them coming. This is the recipe I use for Cherry Tomato Jam 1 lb of cherry tomatoes, washed & cut in half 1 small onion diced ½ cup brown sugar 1 ½ tsp of ginger peeled and chopped or equivalent ginger paste ½ tsp of salt 1 tbsp of olive oil 1 tbsp of cider vinegar ¼ tsp of chili flakes, optional 1) Add oil to a saucepan at medium-high heat and add onions. Sautee onions until they are soft, about 3-5 minutes. 2) Add tomatoes, sugar, ginger, vinegar, salt, and chili flakes and bring to a boil 3) Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens into a jam-like consistency. 4) Allow to cool slightly, add to a small glass jar, and seal with lid. 5) Cherry tomato jam is an excellent replacement for ketchup on fries or burgers. Put it on pizza instead of regular tomato sauce, spread it on sandwiches, or add it to a vinaigrette. The jam will keep up to 3 weeks in the fridge, it also stores well in the freezer if you want to double or triple the recipe.
I actually have two summer tomato recipes that I love. First is a fresh cherry tomato salad with herbs from the garden, small chunks of feta, Kalamata olives for kick and a good quality olive oil. The second is to take fried polenta and top it with roasted tomatoes and garlic. Adding fresh goat cheese is a bonus :-)
My favorite garden recipe is really just marinated tomatoes! You can add onion and cucumbers too! Just slice everything up, place in a bowl, add pepper, a good dose of vinegar(I love wine vinegar for this), and some water. Leave in the fridge for a few hours and delicious!! Great as a side or added to sandwiches or salads! :)
These look like some great recipes to try out! We currently are over run with tomatoes as well. My favorite way to eat tomatoes are either straight off the plant or as Brown Butter Tomato Sandwiches. First you brown the butter in a sauce pan. Then slice up some different varieties of tomatoes (for some color) and place the tomatoes into a bowl and pour the browned butter on top. Let the butter seep into the tomatoes for a few minutes. Then sprinkle some salt on top. I also like to toast some bread in the toaster. Then you just put the tomatoes on the toast and eat it like a sandwich. So good! If you try this Mike I hope you like it!! I’m obsessed. Can’t wait to try that pesto pizza! Looks amazing. I first found this recipe on Roots & Refuge YT channel. Great info if you’re into gardening.
I make the tomato/feta pasta. I add canned artichokes (not marinated!) at the beginning, kalamata olives at the half way mark along with fresh thyme/oregano which gets removed when done. I also freeze cherry tomatoes in a baggie and use those in this recipe year round. No need to defrost them.
Had the a glut of tomatoes last year (repeated this year on purpose) - most successful and satisfying use was to dehydrate heaps of halved cherry tomatoes until they were crispy. Then pulverise in a spice grinder to a fantastic tomato powder. Use in just about anything, sprinkle on chips, put in soup and stews. Adds tangy richness. I store mine in freezer (humid climate) and spoon straight out of jar.
I am a big fresh salsa fan! I usually make up a big batch and add it to everything for the next week. So good! Your dishes here look wonderful. Thank you for all you do!
Great video! We are loaded with tomatoes this year - my husband planted twelve plants that he bought and I started my Amish Paste and a German Green tomato that I've never tried before. My favorite thing to make with our tomatoes is a fresh garden salsa, using cilantro and jalapeno peppers that we grow. If I have them I throw in some cucumbers, a sweet onion and lots of lime juice. I even add a little italian dressing for flavor. Yum! Everyone loves it! Jan in MA
Also, a simple tomato food that I grew up on is a tomato mayo sandwich. Literally what it sounds like, Tomato mayo salt and pepper on a sandwich. Sometimes a slice a cheese. It was simple and tastes like summer to me. It was a simple and quick way for my mom to feed 4 kids in the heat of summer ❤
My favorite tomato dish is a tomato sandwich with sourdough bread. This basic but delish sandwich really showed me the difference of eating in-season tomatoes. So much flavor!
I think my favorite tomato dish is a caprese salad! The simplicity really brings out the nuance of fresh ingredients, and I love a little balsamic glaze on top for another level of complexity. Here’s to hoping for that ooni!
I was gifted a handful of fresh garden tomatoes this year. I have never had that many at once! I ended up using them in my beef chili. I’m not sure if I can ever go back to the store bought canned tomatoes in my beef chili ever again! It made it so flavorful! I wasn’t sure what to do with the amount of fresh tomatoes. I’m a very picky eater. I don’t like roasts. This will give me some inspiration for the next time I have garden fresh tomatoes.
My favorite Spanish dish is fairly simple. Starts with good fresh tomatoes which you have many haha. I get locally grown heirlooms from my grocery store. Then all I do is cook down those tomatoes with garlic, Calabrian chiles, add some salt and pepper. Then I mix the sauce with my pasta noodles and some Parmesan. I add other ingredients based on my needs and what I have. Sometimes I add veggies, sometimes I add chickpeas for protein because I’m vegetarian. But the base recipe is just the tomatoes, noodles, and cheese.
My fav tomato recipe by far is a sauteed zucchini with basil and a quick tomato sauce. So good, so filling, and goes with just about any protein you can think of for a quick and healthy meal.
Thai Tomato Chili Jam is a great way to use a glut of cherry/ plum tomatoes. Will generally store 4-6 months and makes good Thanksgiving /Christmas gifts for cheese / charcuterie boards. Longer it’s stored the more intense the chili heat. Can be diluted with rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and sugar for dipping sauce for spring rolls or dim sum. Very versatile.
@@camillewinnie27 Here you go Camille. This is the recipe I use. Tomato Chilli Jam 500g tomatoes, chopped 4 red chillies, seeded and chopped 4 garlic cloves 5cm piece of fresh root ginger, chopped 2 tbsp Thai fish sauce 300g soft brown sugar 100ml red wine vinegar 3 Thai (KAFFIR) lime leaves You can also use lime zest, or lemon grass 55g raisins 1. Place half the tomatoes, the chilli, garlic, ginger and fish sauce in a food processor and blend to a puree. 2. Place this puree in a heavy-based saucepan with the sugar, vinegar, lime leaves and raisins and bring to the boil slowly, stirring. 3. Chop the remaining tomatoes into small dice and add to the jam once it has come to the boil. 4. Simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the tomatoes are very watery it may need longer, but the jam will thicken when cold. My tip: as with all chutneys keep an eye on this towards the end of the cooking time, as it could start burning on the bottom of the pan. Ps This jam is v. adaptable. The base is the tomatoes, chillies, sugar and vinegar. I’ve left out the raisins on some occasions. What you add or negate in terms of “flavourings” v. much up to you. I’m not sure where I got this recipe, otherwise I would credit it. I thought it might be Sarah Raven but her version omits the raisins.
I made it twice with a few tweaks and OH MY GOD, it's soooo good. I've never been this happy to cook something from a random youtube comment. May you have a happy, happy year!
I love watching you cook and have to replay several times to get the ingredients and dish correct! One of my Favorite side dishes to make with Tomatoes is: Steamed Asparagus Spears, with a high quality fresh Blue Cheese crumbled on top, chopped purple Onion, chopped Tomato with a “Balsamic Vinegar of Modena” and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, topped with Pine Nuts!
The pizza… I LOVE this recipe! Using basil pesto instead of tomato sauce is an amazing switch-up! I started doing this when I had too much basil pesto and only had one tomato a few years back.
😅You're right, I have swiped by the tomato / feta bake dozens of times, but your reaction has made me want to give it a shot. My favorite tomato recipe is a simple caprese salad. So freaking delicious, I eat my bodyweight of it every summer. Thanks for all your inspiring videos!
The best tomato dish is just a simple tomato bisque soup! I find that using tons of fresh herbs gives it a wonderful earthy flavor, and when paired with some simple sourdough foccacia and butter, it can't be beat!
I recently made the cherry tomato/feta dish - instead of mixing it with pasta, I made focaccia bread and used that to scoop up the tomato/feta concoction and oh my goodness. So good!!
Gazpacho is not only my favorite tomato dish, but my all-time favorite food, full stop. Right now is my favorite time of year because I make it all the time!
I was happy to see butter chicken recipe, I've tried it just recently and I think the only thing differently on my side was adding quite hefty amount of butter (not overdone tho) and the marinating of meat in the yoghurt (that is definitely improvement for next time). Also, I've mistakenly chose pork meat from freezer (wrong label) but trust me - it works as well.
My favorite way to use all the tomatoes is salsa. It uses up other garden produce as well and can be flavored so many different ways. I love how you make every recipe so accessible and help me get past my fears of doing things “wrong”.
Absolutely loved the look of that pizza! I think my favourite tomato dish (it’s a toss up between two) is Shakshuka, or a classic Bolognese. Both make me very happy.
oh yeah, shakshuka's awesome. As far as tomato-dishes go, for me I think it would be between shakshuka and mexican rice (my favorite way of making rice)
I make a dressing of honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and as much fresh dill as you have (dehydrated dill works fine too). Then I cut potatoes up and boil them, I cut my green beans in half and blanch them. Toss everything in a big bowl, preferrably with some onion. Obviously, make way more than you need for the meal you intend to serve it at, because it's even better the next day. Red bell pepper and/or shredded carrot are excellent additions.
Thank you for the tomato inspiration! I make a very similar pasta dish, but add zucchini, because I also have an abundance of it this time of year. I love looking through the other comments to see their ideas! Happy gardening everyone.
I plant tomatoes in my Aussie garden and they are very prosperous fruiters. I love both large and cherry varieties. They are great for preserving, so try your dehydrator for your own sun-dried tomatoes. Cook pasta sauces that you can freeze in batches for those busy nights. I love making green tomato relish and tomato chutneys for our sandwiches during non-tomato season. We also trade our surplus veggies with neighbours.
Great video! I too planted several tomatoes - a bit late in the season, though - that I hope to get a nice yield. My go-to tomato-based recipe is called Puttanesca sauce. I enjoy simmering white fish in it, but honestl, it makes everything taste even more delicious. I'll definitely squirrel away the dishes you featured to try later with the harvest my garden offers. Thanks again!
I am a romanian girl who lives in Belgium but My favorite dish with tomatoes is viejas ropas or cubano Sandwich it s bassicaly really similar main incredients I loved this video so much So much inspiration ❤ Keep up the good work
I’m out of Appalachia, and one of my favorite tomato dishes is Biscuits and Tomato Gravy. Make your drop biscuits, pretty simple, but the gravy, do sausage, and make it pretty simple, but add a ton of black pepper and add tomatoes to taste. The acidity with the biscuits is top notch.
I'm also swimming in cherry tomatoes so I'll have to give the feta recipe a try. My 16 year old loves feta...he also loves pizza, so we make it often. After over 30 years of making homemade pizza, my sourdough crust beats a yeast crust in every way. One of my favorite ways to use garden tomatoes is in Caprese. We add a drizzle of balsamic, and some fresh sourdough to enjoy every bit! 😋
Great video! My favorite way to use fresh tomatoes is a true Greek salad that is simply tomatoes, feta, Kalamata olives, cucumber, a little onion, very good olive oil, a little vinegar and salt and pepper. Fresh bread with that is *chef’s kiss*
Shrimp creole and gumbo are one of my favorites to use up my tomatoes from the garden when I want something different! I’m excited to try roasting the tomatoes in the air fryer I had never thought of that.
My favorite tomato recipe is a southern tomato pie! It is so good with fresh tomatoes! Its just a savory crust, baked for 8 minutes then cooled. Slice 2-3 tomatoes and let set on a few paper towels, salted lightly to pull out some of that liquid. I spread a tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom of the crust, then layer the sliced tomatoes and then I mix a cup of mayonnaise with a cup each of cheddar and jack cheeses, chopped onions and bacon and some basil, blend well and spread over the top of the tomatoes, Bake for about 25-35 minutes til golden on top!!
I want this pizza oven soo bad! Seriously love your videos, my six year old son always asks to watch them. My favorite tomato recipes include: heirloom beefsteak tomatoes raw and sliced on homemade rosemary sourdough with a homemade mayonnaise and salt and pepper, Shakshuka with red tomatoes or a green version with tomatillos, chicken cacciatore, and a homemade creamy tomato soup with a grilled cheese 🤍🤍🤍
Two all-time favorite tomato dishes: simple cherry tomato, fresh mozzarella balls, basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze mini skewers. And butter chicken!! I was drooling as you made your version. Thanks for sharing so many amazing recipes!
Lately, my favorite tomato dish has been simple quick marinaded tomatoes. Fresh heirloom tomato, olive oil (flavor infused evoo even better), red wine vinegar or have fun with other infused vinegars, salt pepper, sugar if desired, herb of choice (basil, Thai basil, mint, dill, thyme, etc). Adding thinly sliced onions also cool. Carefully mix. Sit for about 15-20min and tossing every 5min. Lightly strain and serve. Goes great with breakfast!
I like concentrated tomato flavor. So my favorite way to deal with many small tomatoes is to roast them. I can't wait to try the air fryer as you showed! That way, I can do smaller batches as needed and not have to do a big project, thank you! For a snack, I like rye crisps with cream cheese and some roasted tomatoes on top because it's quick and easy to assemble as I crave it.
FYI, green grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes pickle really well. They're crisp and have good texture, and the green tomatos taste really good when pickled. They're really fun to pop in your mouth.
I love making huevos rancheros with leftover cherry tomatoes. I roast them in my toaster oven. In a small saucepan, bloom some cumin and garlic and then add the tomatoes with all their water. I'll squish them a bit and done. Top a tostada with that sauce, medium well egg, and some hot sauce.
This for real gave me inspiration to make that butter chicken tomorrow- because I have all the ingredients!! Seriously love when that happens, your videos are fantastic. I love just a simple balsamic tomato salad on toast to use my tomato abundance. That's probably breakfast most days in tomato season, with either like hummus, or avocado, or feta or something for a bit of extra comfort and substance to a toast meal.
Hi, I just saw all those wonderful tomato recipes! My daughters and I could eat a tomato sandwich, that's how much we love them! Have you ever made a tomato pie? YUM!!! SO good!!!! Sounds weird, but, so worth it!
Similar to your first recipe, I love making a cherry tomato pasta sauce. The only ingredients are cherry tomatoes, butter, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. I just make it on the stove top and toss with pasta and Parmesan cheese. It goes very well with cheese tortellini!
One of my most favorite tomato recipes is to slice just the top off and then with a spoon (grapefruit spoons work great) hollow out a large tomato (like you would for stuffed green pepper, ya know!). Put a bit of butter in the bottom, crack an egg INTO the tomato bowl you just created, and at least add salt, pepper, herbs and parm to the top. Pop into a 350F pre-heated oven on a tray or shallow ceramic oven-safe bowl. Cook for about 20 minutes, altho YMMV depending on how you like your egg. Some large tomatoes will take two eggs. A little basil on top after removal from oven? But of course. Very elegant. Endlessly modifiable. Toast soldiers on the side! Oh, and the tomato insides? Don't throw them away. Toss into your next salad or add them to the salsa jar in your fridge.
I am Mexican and a recipe my mother always made when I was younger is called entomatadas it’s like enchiladas but only tomato sauce. Simple but delicious!
The tomato grilled cheese looks awesome. I pretty much love everthing tomato. Love the title of the video--I think the same thing every year! That pizza oven would be AMAZING!
I actually cannot stand tomatoes, but several people around me, including my husband, loves them. That's why I keep trying them hoping I would like them. At this point there is only one fresh tomato recipe I like and that's Bruschetta. IDK what it is, but something in the combo of fresh Roma tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Guh.... it's just so good.
4:30 Eastern Standard time. My favorite fast recipe is just fresh salsa from the garden! Tomatoes, garlic, tajin if i don’t have a lime or lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin… i think its best at room temperature.
I think my favorite tomato recipe is a tomato bisque (from home grown tomatoes of course) with grilled cheese croutons. Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Love all the tomato dish ideas, that pizza had me drooling. My absolute favorite tomato dish is pan con tomate. Such a delicate, rich flavor that never disappoints.
My favorite tomato dish is super simple. Cracked wheat sourdough that's been toasted, plain hummus, sliced tomato, and sauerkraut. Spread the hummus onto the bread, top with the tomato, and sauerkraut, and make a sandwich. Lately I've been adding everything bagel seasoning (because we have it, so why not?) and that little kick of onion and garlic with the slight extra crunch from the sesame seeds just hits right! In fact, I'm going to have this for lunch today!
you nailed it. i think fremmer is a treasure because all his knowledge and how much i’ve learned from him. but yeah, he’s so pretentious! for all the good i see in him, he had qualities in an audiophile that i hope i never develop.
Pizza!!!! I'm the worst gardener in history but my friends gave me a bunch of their garden tomatoes. I made an altered version of the pizza you made in this video, but sadly used my regular oven instead of a nice Ooni pizza oven. I'd love to try it again with a legit pizza oven!
My favorite thing to do with fresh tomatoes is to slice and top on cheese toast (any cheese melted on any bread) with a bit of salt and pepper. Not much of a recipe, but when the ingredients are excellent, simplicity can't be beat. This same idea can be expanded to top any slice of pizza (especially plain cheese). It's just good. My family can go through so many tomatoes on takeout pizza night.
My favorite tomato recipe is using yellow cherry tomatoes and making fresh salsa out of it! I am going to try all of the recipes on this video too! They all look delicious!
I’ve made the first dish in a frying pan without the feta cheese. Just simply cherry tomatoes (I had red and yellow), about a tablespoon of olive oil, garlic and other seasonings. Pour it over any pasta and it was absolutely delicious.
I am so excited about the roasted tomatoes. I made confit with 8 lbs of cherry tomatoes- love it. I have been making garden fresh cream of tomato soup, I freeze some of the base do I can have sone this winter.
favorite tomato recipe is a riff on one of your 15 minutes dinners. You mad a quick sauce by crushing up cherry tomatoes with onions, olive oil, crushed red pepper, and garlic. You put it on penne if I remember right. I love it!
OMG and youre giving away an pizza kit!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shite… in the summer, I just love a simple Italian tuna (with olive oil), roasted tomatoes, garlic, scallions, Greek olives, capers and some lovely orecchiette pasta.. and do a squeeze of lemon on top. Totes my favorite. 😊
I have two favorite tomato dishes. Both of them are Hungarian foods that are cheap and remind me of my childhood.:) The first is "paradicsomos káposzta" (rough translation of cabbage and tomato). It's white cabbage cooked in tomato sauce. It is a sweet hearty meal and you can add fried meatballs or a pork stew to it. The second is "paradicsomos húsgombóc" which is meatballs (just cooked) in a sweaty tomato sauce. After writing these down I realised we love the sweat and salty combination.:) If we (Hungarians) or I it doesn't matter.:) I'm from Europe so I just wanted you to know this.:)
My favorite way to use tomatoes when they’re in season is a simple tomato toast. I use a rosemary Italian roll, spread pesto, add a seasoned slice of tomato, crumble some feta and drizzle balsamic glaze. It’s *chefs kiss*
my all time favorite tomato recipe is butter chicken and its in my regular rotation but whenever i want something fresh my other favorite way to use them is a tomato cucumber salad, it came from necessity like your pizza i had cucumbers and cherry tomatoes galore and my dill was getting huge so i halved the tomatoes, diced the cucumbers and added some lemon juice, dill and olive oil and it was just ridiculously good despite how simple it was and its the best summer side
I do my grilled cheese butter the same way. I like to kick mine up by adding herbs with the butter. And I love tomato soup with grilled cheese. Can’t wait to try that feta tomato pasta!
As a Spaniard I love to see how you try spanish dishes! Gazpacho and Salmorejo are both typical dishes from Andalucía but Salmorejo is known to be specifically from the region of Córdoba and people there are very proud of it. The classic recipe couldn't be easier: 1kg of tomatoes, 100g of extra virgin olive oil, 200g of bread, a garlic clove and 10g of salt. After you blend the tomatoes you want to strain the puree to get rid of the seeds and get a smoother texture and then you blend everything else. Of course there's no better topping than Jamón Ibérico though that pizza recipe was mouthwatering tbh hahaha
I ate this like 13 years ago in an office cafeteria in Sevilla and it's remained my favorite soup ever. A guy that was eating there shared his mother's version (he adds a cooked egg when blending and a dash of vinegar ) I've made it so much throughout the years.
I grew up on Gazpacho but I only discovered Salmorejo later in life. But there is nothing better than making this with your own (very ripe) tomatoes! In summer, this is a complete meal: you have all the vitamins and minerals of the tomatoes (or in case of gazpacho, of cucumber and peppers as well), the healthy fat of the olive oil, the starch from the bread and the protein from the egg and jamón. Good to have it in your fridge like in Almodóvars movie (Women on the brink of nervous breakdown).
In Sweden here, I so wish we got Spanish and Italian tomatoes. All we get are the Netherlands' red rubber balls. Today I picked the first and the last of my Swedish tomato harvest, been trying to grow a good tomato for 15 years. Maybe next year it will happen.
It’s so so terrifying that humans get excited about slaughterhouse victims… abused babies are not food.
Mix together 5cm piece of ginger grated, 3 cloves garlic grated, 2 tsp black onion (nigella) seeds 1tsp fennel seeds, 1-2 tsp cumin seeds lightly crushed, 1/2tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp chilli powder, 2tsp sea salt and 6 tablespoons olive oil in a large roasting tin. Add 6 baby aubergines/eggplants or 2 large ones sliced and 400g of cherry tomatoes, halved. Toss so everything is well coated and arrange aubergine slices on top of the tom's. Roast at 200C/160C fan for 40-45 mins. I find it's best to give everything a bit of a stir 1/2 way through and maybe add a little water if it's looking a bit dry. The tomatoes should much down to a nice sauce. This is an ultra lazy version of a Madhur Jaffrey recipe. A very mild but really tasty vegan curry. I suspect that you could swop the aubergines for cauliflower florets but haven't tried yet. Also why not fill your freezer with a tomato base which can become soup, bolognese sauce, chicken casserole, pizza sauce etc etc. I roast the tomatoes while sweating down chopped onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Peel the tomatoes if needed and then add to the soffrito, blitz roughly with a hand blender, add herbs and simmer on a low heat until the juices have thickened - 1-2 hours. Season at the end because it's difficult not to overdo it if you season before it's reduced. Adding carrots means you don't need any sugar. You can add tomato paste before the tomatoes (so you can cook it out) and it will thicken faster. I think salmorejo is one of the classic national dishes that most European countries have for using stale bread with cheap plentiful ingredients. I was rather horrified that you put your iberico in the pizza oven, but I will definitely try the tomato feta pasta sauce. Who cares what it looks like if it tastes yummy!
Spanish here, i've grown eating salmorejo and i can swear it's an absolute treat to have in the summer heat, over here it's standard to blanch the tomatoes and peel them afterwards so the salmorejo takes a much smoother texture.
Also there's a wide range in the consistency from soup to straight up drink, it mostly depends on which one you prefer, here at my house we also throw small pieces of cucumber as topping and my mother tends to throw an apple to add a bit of sweet in there.
Been following you since a long time and love your videos, i've learnt so much about cooking from you.
Loved all the recipes! One of my favorite ways to use up tomatoes is something my aunt in Korea used to make for me whenever I would visit. She cuts up the tomatoes into big chunks and freezes them, then blends them up with some milk and sweetener into a delicious and refreshing smoothie. Tomato in a dessert may sound odd but tomato popsicles are a popular dessert in Korea and this smoothie is my aunt’s own version of that! So good!
Have to try...thanks for sharing. tomatoes are a fruit. 👍
For me it's a really special moment when you get that perfect Caprese salad. The flavors are so wonderful together and really highlight good tomatoes.

I really love the direction you’ve started taking with your channel! I grow everything I can at home, and have been searching for the best ways to use all of my surplus produce. I’ve found lots of cool recipes and ideas out there, but I really appreciate your succinct and thorough explanations. I’ve been a long time follower, never commented. Your perfectly timed tomato vid prompted me to finally let you know how helpful I find the great info and quality video production you offer. Honestly, thanks a million. You’ve made a huge difference in how I cook, ferment and preserve over the last few years. 🙏🏼❤️
I never even considered roasting my tomatoes in my air fryer. Thank you so much for that idea! We have hundreds of cherry tomatoes to use up, so I’ll probably try most of these recipes ;)
Ive roasted my cherry tomatoes with garlic and onions then run through the squeezo thing on my kitchenaid mixer for years now. The flavor is so different and sweeter than some of the larger tomatoes. Don't get me wrong I love big tomatoes for my red sauce but the mixed color cherry tomato sauce has its own charm too.
But too many yellow ones in the mix gives you a weird light orange sauce lol
SAME. I was just telling my sister how much i love to cook and why didn't i EVER think to air fry tomatoes!!! OMG genius!
I love all the fancy tomato based dishes, from pasta to soup. But I like what you said about childhood and how nothing can beat it. For me that is an old fashioned tomato sandwich with salt, pepper and a thin layer of mayo. When I have fresh tomatoes at home, I just can’t resist a tomato sandwich.
You have basically done all my favourite tomato recipes in one video. This is my first year getting an abundance of tomatoes and the way we used them up most days was to add to our garden lettuce and cucumber in a basic side salad. That way I got to have them in every single meal!
I made the butter chicken tonight and while I agree with him that it's not an authentic butter chicken IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I marinated the chicken overnight, roasted the tomatoes and onion in my air fryer like he suggests in another video, and it all came together beautifully. I practically licked the bowl. Thank you for this delicious and lighter version!
How many pounds of tomatoes did you need?
One of my favorite tomato recipes is inspired by a trip to Malaga, Spain, in which they serve porra as a dip with bread. I, however, love it on pizza as a sauce. In addition, it also freezes pretty well for later. You will need: 1 kg tomatoes (peeled and deseeded), 2 garlic cloves, 2 large red sweet peppers, 2 TBS sherry vinegar, olive oil, bread to thicken. Blend all together until very thick.
I've made the cherry tomato feta as an appetizer, plus add artichoke and served with toasted bread. Never thought to combine it all into a pasta dish! Looks amazing.
That sounds amazing!
That butter chicken recipe looks divine and totally doable! It's such a pleasure seeing your passion for growing your own food and cooking it.
Can't really call it butter chicken because there no butter anywhere in the dish, but I'm sure it taste good either way.
Fermented tomatoes! Which I honestly probably learned from you- been watching for years and hardly ever miss a video. I cook about every meal from home for our family and you have influenced so much creativity and technique for me in the kitchen! Thank you! We’d be absolutely overjoyed with a pizza oven!!!
i also had an abundance of cherry tomatoes this season. Great to see you do these recipes. Fresh tomatoes on a pizza with a little Moz and basil is a quick treat. I really like a Tomato Jam recipe I used. It is great on everything (even pizza). Love all of your post, Please keep them coming. This is the recipe I use for Cherry Tomato Jam
1 lb of cherry tomatoes, washed & cut in half
1 small onion diced
½ cup brown sugar
1 ½ tsp of ginger peeled and chopped or equivalent ginger paste
½ tsp of salt
1 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of cider vinegar
¼ tsp of chili flakes, optional
1) Add oil to a saucepan at medium-high heat and add onions. Sautee onions until they are soft, about 3-5 minutes.
2) Add tomatoes, sugar, ginger, vinegar, salt, and chili flakes and bring to a boil
3) Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens into a jam-like consistency.
4) Allow to cool slightly, add to a small glass jar, and seal with lid.
5) Cherry tomato jam is an excellent replacement for ketchup on fries or burgers. Put it on pizza instead of regular tomato sauce, spread it on sandwiches, or add it to a vinaigrette. The jam will keep up to 3 weeks in the fridge, it also stores well in the freezer if you want to double or triple the recipe.
I actually have two summer tomato recipes that I love. First is a fresh cherry tomato salad with herbs from the garden, small chunks of feta, Kalamata olives for kick and a good quality olive oil. The second is to take fried polenta and top it with roasted tomatoes and garlic. Adding fresh goat cheese is a bonus :-)
Love the pesto tomato pizza! My favorite combination, and the air frying of the tomatoes was such a creative and unique twist!
Yum!
My favorite tomato dish to make (and eat) is creamy rich tomato soup ❤
My favorite garden recipe is really just marinated tomatoes! You can add onion and cucumbers too! Just slice everything up, place in a bowl, add pepper, a good dose of vinegar(I love wine vinegar for this), and some water. Leave in the fridge for a few hours and delicious!! Great as a side or added to sandwiches or salads! :)
What's the water for? The vegetables will release their own water.
It just aids in helping to keep the veggies crunchy! It doesn't take much! :) @@newcamomile
These look like some great recipes to try out! We currently are over run with tomatoes as well. My favorite way to eat tomatoes are either straight off the plant or as Brown Butter Tomato Sandwiches.
First you brown the butter in a sauce pan. Then slice up some different varieties of tomatoes (for some color) and place the tomatoes into a bowl and pour the browned butter on top. Let the butter seep into the tomatoes for a few minutes. Then sprinkle some salt on top. I also like to toast some bread in the toaster. Then you just put the tomatoes on the toast and eat it like a sandwich. So good!
If you try this Mike I hope you like it!! I’m obsessed. Can’t wait to try that pesto pizza! Looks amazing.
I first found this recipe on Roots & Refuge YT channel. Great info if you’re into gardening.
I love adding all my garden tomatoes to a panzanella salad, mixed with homemade sourdough croutons!
I make the tomato/feta pasta. I add canned artichokes (not marinated!) at the beginning, kalamata olives at the half way mark along with fresh thyme/oregano which gets removed when done. I also freeze cherry tomatoes in a baggie and use those in this recipe year round. No need to defrost them.
The cherry tomato and feta pasta dish is so easy to make and delicious. Such an easy last minute dish to make when I'm not in the mood to cook dinner.
Had the a glut of tomatoes last year (repeated this year on purpose) - most successful and satisfying use was to dehydrate heaps of halved cherry tomatoes until they were crispy. Then pulverise in a spice grinder to a fantastic tomato powder. Use in just about anything, sprinkle on chips, put in soup and stews. Adds tangy richness. I store mine in freezer (humid climate) and spoon straight out of jar.
That is a great idea! Thanks!
I am a big fresh salsa fan! I usually make up a big batch and add it to everything for the next week. So good! Your dishes here look wonderful. Thank you for all you do!
Great video! We are loaded with tomatoes this year - my husband planted twelve plants that he bought and I started my Amish Paste and a German Green tomato that I've never tried before. My favorite thing to make with our tomatoes is a fresh garden salsa, using cilantro and jalapeno peppers that we grow. If I have them I throw in some cucumbers, a sweet onion and lots of lime juice. I even add a little italian dressing for flavor. Yum! Everyone loves it! Jan in MA
Gorgeous tomatoes! The Heirloom especially. Love the ideas for using these beauties.
Also, a simple tomato food that I grew up on is a tomato mayo sandwich. Literally what it sounds like, Tomato mayo salt and pepper on a sandwich. Sometimes a slice a cheese. It was simple and tastes like summer to me. It was a simple and quick way for my mom to feed 4 kids in the heat of summer ❤
My favorite tomato dish is a tomato sandwich with sourdough bread. This basic but delish sandwich really showed me the difference of eating in-season tomatoes. So much flavor!
OMG thanks for this idea- I just made a fresh baked boule of sourdough. Now i know what I'm having for lunch! :)
I think my favorite tomato dish is a caprese salad! The simplicity really brings out the nuance of fresh ingredients, and I love a little balsamic glaze on top for another level of complexity. Here’s to hoping for that ooni!
I was gifted a handful of fresh garden tomatoes this year. I have never had that many at once! I ended up using them in my beef chili. I’m not sure if I can ever go back to the store bought canned tomatoes in my beef chili ever again! It made it so flavorful! I wasn’t sure what to do with the amount of fresh tomatoes. I’m a very picky eater. I don’t like roasts. This will give me some inspiration for the next time I have garden fresh tomatoes.
My favorite Spanish dish is fairly simple. Starts with good fresh tomatoes which you have many haha. I get locally grown heirlooms from my grocery store. Then all I do is cook down those tomatoes with garlic, Calabrian chiles, add some salt and pepper. Then I mix the sauce with my pasta noodles and some Parmesan. I add other ingredients based on my needs and what I have. Sometimes I add veggies, sometimes I add chickpeas for protein because I’m vegetarian. But the base recipe is just the tomatoes, noodles, and cheese.
My fav tomato recipe by far is a sauteed zucchini with basil and a quick tomato sauce. So good, so filling, and goes with just about any protein you can think of for a quick and healthy meal.
Thai Tomato Chili Jam is a great way to use a glut of cherry/ plum tomatoes. Will generally store 4-6 months and makes good Thanksgiving /Christmas gifts for cheese / charcuterie boards. Longer it’s stored the more intense the chili heat. Can be diluted with rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and sugar for dipping sauce for spring rolls or dim sum. Very versatile.
Recipe? Sounds delicious!
@@camillewinnie27
Here you go Camille. This is the recipe I use.
Tomato Chilli Jam
500g tomatoes, chopped
4 red chillies, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves
5cm piece of fresh root ginger, chopped
2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
300g soft brown sugar
100ml red wine vinegar
3 Thai (KAFFIR) lime leaves You can also use lime zest, or lemon grass
55g raisins
1. Place half the tomatoes, the chilli, garlic, ginger and fish sauce in a food processor and blend to a puree.
2. Place this puree in a heavy-based saucepan with the sugar, vinegar, lime leaves and raisins and bring to the boil slowly, stirring.
3. Chop the remaining tomatoes into small dice and add to the jam once it has come to the boil.
4. Simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the tomatoes are very watery it may need longer, but the jam will thicken when cold.
My tip: as with all chutneys keep an eye on this towards the end of the cooking time, as it could start burning on the bottom of the pan.
Ps This jam is v. adaptable. The base is the tomatoes, chillies, sugar and vinegar. I’ve left out the raisins on some occasions. What you add or negate in terms of “flavourings” v. much up to you. I’m not sure where I got this recipe, otherwise I would credit it. I thought it might be Sarah Raven but her version omits the raisins.
@@CBEEBLE Thank you, this is great!
I made it twice with a few tweaks and OH MY GOD, it's soooo good. I've never been this happy to cook something from a random youtube comment. May you have a happy, happy year!
@@ineovlate Good to hear! I’m curious what were your tweaks?
Great stuff, Mike! You could also make shakshuka or a roasted tomato soup as well.
I love watching you cook and have to replay several times to get the ingredients and dish correct!
One of my Favorite side dishes to make with Tomatoes is: Steamed Asparagus Spears, with a high quality fresh Blue Cheese crumbled on top, chopped purple Onion, chopped Tomato with a “Balsamic Vinegar of Modena” and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, topped with Pine Nuts!
The pizza… I LOVE this recipe! Using basil pesto instead of tomato sauce is an amazing switch-up! I started doing this when I had too much basil pesto and only had one tomato a few years back.
😅You're right, I have swiped by the tomato / feta bake dozens of times, but your reaction has made me want to give it a shot. My favorite tomato recipe is a simple caprese salad. So freaking delicious, I eat my bodyweight of it every summer. Thanks for all your inspiring videos!
The best tomato dish is just a simple tomato bisque soup! I find that using tons of fresh herbs gives it a wonderful earthy flavor, and when paired with some simple sourdough foccacia and butter, it can't be beat!
The pasta recipe is one of our favorites! Our new house came with cherry tomatoes plants that produce sooo many little tomatoes 🍅
I recently made the cherry tomato/feta dish - instead of mixing it with pasta, I made focaccia bread and used that to scoop up the tomato/feta concoction and oh my goodness. So good!!
Gazpacho is not only my favorite tomato dish, but my all-time favorite food, full stop. Right now is my favorite time of year because I make it all the time!
I was happy to see butter chicken recipe, I've tried it just recently and I think the only thing differently on my side was adding quite hefty amount of butter (not overdone tho) and the marinating of meat in the yoghurt (that is definitely improvement for next time). Also, I've mistakenly chose pork meat from freezer (wrong label) but trust me - it works as well.
That pizza looks absolutely outstanding! Ooni seems like such an amazing home pizza oven :)
I had to replay that intro like 10 times 😂😂😂😂
Forreal 😂 its that mouth orgasm
Same!! I kept getting distracted and restarting the video.
That reaction is so real
My favorite way to use all the tomatoes is salsa. It uses up other garden produce as well and can be flavored so many different ways. I love how you make every recipe so accessible and help me get past my fears of doing things “wrong”.
Sounds so delish!!
just made the pasta dish with my excess of garden cherry and plum tomatoes. Turned out great. Super easy and delicious. Just added a protein. Thanks!
Absolutely loved the look of that pizza! I think my favourite tomato dish (it’s a toss up between two) is Shakshuka, or a classic Bolognese. Both make me very happy.
oh yeah, shakshuka's awesome. As far as tomato-dishes go, for me I think it would be between shakshuka and mexican rice (my favorite way of making rice)
Thank you! You’ve inspired me to try making butter chicken, which I thought was out of reach! Now I need a “what to do with all these string beans” 😂
Add some to simmer with the butter chicken. Yum!
I make a dressing of honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and as much fresh dill as you have (dehydrated dill works fine too).
Then I cut potatoes up and boil them, I cut my green beans in half and blanch them.
Toss everything in a big bowl, preferrably with some onion. Obviously, make way more than you need for the meal you intend to serve it at, because it's even better the next day.
Red bell pepper and/or shredded carrot are excellent additions.
Thank you for the tomato inspiration! I make a very similar pasta dish, but add zucchini, because I also have an abundance of it this time of year. I love looking through the other comments to see their ideas! Happy gardening everyone.
I plant tomatoes in my Aussie garden and they are very prosperous fruiters. I love both large and cherry varieties. They are great for preserving, so try your dehydrator for your own sun-dried tomatoes. Cook pasta sauces that you can freeze in batches for those busy nights. I love making green tomato relish and tomato chutneys for our sandwiches during non-tomato season. We also trade our surplus veggies with neighbours.
Great video! I too planted several tomatoes - a bit late in the season, though - that I hope to get a nice yield.
My go-to tomato-based recipe is called Puttanesca sauce. I enjoy simmering white fish in it, but honestl, it makes everything taste even more delicious.
I'll definitely squirrel away the dishes you featured to try later with the harvest my garden offers. Thanks again!
I love a classic tomato basil soup paired with a grilled cheese!! Classic yet ALWAYS hits the spot :-)
My favorite tomato dish is from my childhood…stewed tomatoes, elbow macaroni, salt, pepper and a little sugar sprinkled on top. Delicious!
I agree this was my comfort food when I was a child, I would ask for it when I wasn’t feeling well.
I love tomatoes.
I am a romanian girl who lives in Belgium but My favorite dish with tomatoes is viejas ropas or cubano Sandwich it s bassicaly really similar main incredients
I loved this video so much
So much inspiration ❤
Keep up the good work
I’m out of Appalachia, and one of my favorite tomato dishes is Biscuits and Tomato Gravy.
Make your drop biscuits, pretty simple, but the gravy, do sausage, and make it pretty simple, but add a ton of black pepper and add tomatoes to taste. The acidity with the biscuits is top notch.
I’ve been making and eating tomato gravy and homemade biscuits all my life. Great meal but I use bacon.
Stopped watching at 9:17 when you blasphemed 😥
Yea that was unnecessary
Please don't say gd.
What does gd mean?
@@gottasay4766 you know what it means. Don't say it.
@@gottasay4766 God ____
Goddamn?
@@OfficialEpzilon yes
I'm also swimming in cherry tomatoes so I'll have to give the feta recipe a try. My 16 year old loves feta...he also loves pizza, so we make it often. After over 30 years of making homemade pizza, my sourdough crust beats a yeast crust in every way.
One of my favorite ways to use garden tomatoes is in Caprese. We add a drizzle of balsamic, and some fresh sourdough to enjoy every bit! 😋
Great video! My favorite way to use fresh tomatoes is a true Greek salad that is simply tomatoes, feta, Kalamata olives, cucumber, a little onion, very good olive oil, a little vinegar and salt and pepper. Fresh bread with that is *chef’s kiss*
Shrimp creole and gumbo are one of my favorites to use up my tomatoes from the garden when I want something different! I’m excited to try roasting the tomatoes in the air fryer I had never thought of that.
My favorite tomato recipe is a southern tomato pie! It is so good with fresh tomatoes! Its just a savory crust, baked for 8 minutes then cooled. Slice 2-3 tomatoes and let set on a few paper towels, salted lightly to pull out some of that liquid. I spread a tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom of the crust, then layer the sliced tomatoes and then
I mix a cup of mayonnaise with a cup each of cheddar and jack cheeses, chopped onions and bacon and some basil, blend well and spread over the top of the tomatoes, Bake for about 25-35 minutes til golden on top!!
I think this is the best what to do with large tomato harvest video of the season so far! Thank you.🍅🍅🍅
I want this pizza oven soo bad! Seriously love your videos, my six year old son always asks to watch them. My favorite tomato recipes include: heirloom beefsteak tomatoes raw and sliced on homemade rosemary sourdough with a homemade mayonnaise and salt and pepper, Shakshuka with red tomatoes or a green version with tomatillos, chicken cacciatore, and a homemade creamy tomato soup with a grilled cheese 🤍🤍🤍
Two all-time favorite tomato dishes: simple cherry tomato, fresh mozzarella balls, basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze mini skewers. And butter chicken!! I was drooling as you made your version. Thanks for sharing so many amazing recipes!
Lately, my favorite tomato dish has been simple quick marinaded tomatoes. Fresh heirloom tomato, olive oil (flavor infused evoo even better), red wine vinegar or have fun with other infused vinegars, salt pepper, sugar if desired, herb of choice (basil, Thai basil, mint, dill, thyme, etc). Adding thinly sliced onions also cool. Carefully mix. Sit for about 15-20min and tossing every 5min. Lightly strain and serve. Goes great with breakfast!
I like concentrated tomato flavor. So my favorite way to deal with many small tomatoes is to roast them. I can't wait to try the air fryer as you showed! That way, I can do smaller batches as needed and not have to do a big project, thank you! For a snack, I like rye crisps with cream cheese and some roasted tomatoes on top because it's quick and easy to assemble as I crave it.
I can't think of a better way to use loads of tomatoes than to make a shakshuka. Hands down best tomato-based recipe
FYI, green grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes pickle really well. They're crisp and have good texture, and the green tomatos taste really good when pickled. They're really fun to pop in your mouth.
Roasted tomato soup!! Never thought of putting tomato on my grilled cheese, will definitely be trying that!!!!
I love making huevos rancheros with leftover cherry tomatoes. I roast them in my toaster oven. In a small saucepan, bloom some cumin and garlic and then add the tomatoes with all their water. I'll squish them a bit and done. Top a tostada with that sauce, medium well egg, and some hot sauce.
This for real gave me inspiration to make that butter chicken tomorrow- because I have all the ingredients!! Seriously love when that happens, your videos are fantastic.
I love just a simple balsamic tomato salad on toast to use my tomato abundance. That's probably breakfast most days in tomato season, with either like hummus, or avocado, or feta or something for a bit of extra comfort and substance to a toast meal.
Hi, I just saw all those wonderful tomato recipes! My daughters and I could eat a tomato sandwich, that's how much we love them! Have you ever made a tomato pie? YUM!!! SO good!!!! Sounds weird, but, so worth it!
Similar to your first recipe, I love making a cherry tomato pasta sauce. The only ingredients are cherry tomatoes, butter, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. I just make it on the stove top and toss with pasta and Parmesan cheese. It goes very well with cheese tortellini!
One of my most favorite tomato recipes is to slice just the top off and then with a spoon (grapefruit spoons work great) hollow out a large tomato (like you would for stuffed green pepper, ya know!). Put a bit of butter in the bottom, crack an egg INTO the tomato bowl you just created, and at least add salt, pepper, herbs and parm to the top. Pop into a 350F pre-heated oven on a tray or shallow ceramic oven-safe bowl. Cook for about 20 minutes, altho YMMV depending on how you like your egg. Some large tomatoes will take two eggs. A little basil on top after removal from oven? But of course. Very elegant. Endlessly modifiable. Toast soldiers on the side! Oh, and the tomato insides? Don't throw them away. Toss into your next salad or add them to the salsa jar in your fridge.
I am Mexican and a recipe my mother always made when I was younger is called entomatadas it’s like enchiladas but only tomato sauce. Simple but delicious!
The tomato grilled cheese looks awesome. I pretty much love everthing tomato. Love the title of the video--I think the same thing every year! That pizza oven would be AMAZING!
I actually cannot stand tomatoes, but several people around me, including my husband, loves them. That's why I keep trying them hoping I would like them. At this point there is only one fresh tomato recipe I like and that's Bruschetta. IDK what it is, but something in the combo of fresh Roma tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Guh.... it's just so good.
4:30 Eastern Standard time. My favorite fast recipe is just fresh salsa from the garden! Tomatoes, garlic, tajin if i don’t have a lime or lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin… i think its best at room temperature.
I think my favorite tomato recipe is a tomato bisque (from home grown tomatoes of course) with grilled cheese croutons. Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Do you grow tomatoes?
Love all the tomato dish ideas, that pizza had me drooling. My absolute favorite tomato dish is pan con tomate. Such a delicate, rich flavor that never disappoints.
My favorite tomato dish is super simple. Cracked wheat sourdough that's been toasted, plain hummus, sliced tomato, and sauerkraut. Spread the hummus onto the bread, top with the tomato, and sauerkraut, and make a sandwich. Lately I've been adding everything bagel seasoning (because we have it, so why not?) and that little kick of onion and garlic with the slight extra crunch from the sesame seeds just hits right! In fact, I'm going to have this for lunch today!
you nailed it. i think fremmer is a treasure because all his knowledge and how much i’ve learned from him. but yeah, he’s so pretentious! for all the good i see in him, he had qualities in an audiophile that i hope i never develop.
Pizza!!!! I'm the worst gardener in history but my friends gave me a bunch of their garden tomatoes. I made an altered version of the pizza you made in this video, but sadly used my regular oven instead of a nice Ooni pizza oven. I'd love to try it again with a legit pizza oven!
I love that Cherry tomato, feta, pasta dish. It looks amazing and I'm definitely going to try that tonight! Thanks Mike.
My favorite thing to do with fresh tomatoes is to slice and top on cheese toast (any cheese melted on any bread) with a bit of salt and pepper. Not much of a recipe, but when the ingredients are excellent, simplicity can't be beat.
This same idea can be expanded to top any slice of pizza (especially plain cheese).
It's just good. My family can go through so many tomatoes on takeout pizza night.
My favorite tomato recipe is using yellow cherry tomatoes and making fresh salsa out of it! I am going to try all of the recipes on this video too! They all look delicious!
I’ve made the first dish in a frying pan without the feta cheese. Just simply cherry tomatoes (I had red and yellow), about a tablespoon of olive oil, garlic and other seasonings. Pour it over any pasta and it was absolutely delicious.
In the height of tomato season, I love roasting them down with garlic, olive oil, and salt. Jar the result and freeze for wintertime enjoyment.
I am so excited about the roasted tomatoes. I made confit with 8 lbs of cherry tomatoes- love it. I have been making garden fresh cream of tomato soup, I freeze some of the base do I can have sone this winter.
favorite tomato recipe is a riff on one of your 15 minutes dinners. You mad a quick sauce by crushing up cherry tomatoes with onions, olive oil, crushed red pepper, and garlic. You put it on penne if I remember right. I love it!
OMG and youre giving away an pizza kit!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shite… in the summer, I just love a simple Italian tuna (with olive oil), roasted tomatoes, garlic, scallions, Greek olives, capers and some lovely orecchiette pasta.. and do a squeeze of lemon on top. Totes my favorite. 😊
I have two favorite tomato dishes. Both of them are Hungarian foods that are cheap and remind me of my childhood.:) The first is "paradicsomos káposzta" (rough translation of cabbage and tomato). It's white cabbage cooked in tomato sauce. It is a sweet hearty meal and you can add fried meatballs or a pork stew to it. The second is "paradicsomos húsgombóc" which is meatballs (just cooked) in a sweaty tomato sauce. After writing these down I realised we love the sweat and salty combination.:) If we (Hungarians) or I it doesn't matter.:) I'm from Europe so I just wanted you to know this.:)
These are great! I froze a bunch of cherry tomatoes to use this winter. I hope they work well in the baked feta dish, I love it!
i'm not a huge tomatoe fan but i did plant them in my garden this year and they delicious fresh. the feta pasta dish was amazing!
My favorite way to use tomatoes when they’re in season is a simple tomato toast. I use a rosemary Italian roll, spread pesto, add a seasoned slice of tomato, crumble some feta and drizzle balsamic glaze. It’s *chefs kiss*
my all time favorite tomato recipe is butter chicken and its in my regular rotation but whenever i want something fresh my other favorite way to use them is a tomato cucumber salad, it came from necessity like your pizza i had cucumbers and cherry tomatoes galore and my dill was getting huge so i halved the tomatoes, diced the cucumbers and added some lemon juice, dill and olive oil and it was just ridiculously good despite how simple it was and its the best summer side
Gnocchi roasted with cherry tomatoes and other in season veggies is my favorite! Thanks for all of your videos
My favorite tomato recipe is a simple cucumber, tomato, and feta salad. It's always refreshing in the summer when tomatoes are at their best!
I do my grilled cheese butter the same way. I like to kick mine up by adding herbs with the butter. And I love tomato soup with grilled cheese. Can’t wait to try that feta tomato pasta!
These are some great recipes. My favorite recipe for when I have a ton of tomatoes I need to use is creamy tomato basil soup.
