Sunday Snapshots: Forgotten Tomato Recipes

August 12, 2012 by Nancy Lopez-McHugh 31 Comments

Tomato Recipes, Sunday Snapshots, Spicie Foodie

Since tomato season is in full swing I thought I’d share some forgotten tomato recipes. They were both meant to be shared last tomato season but somehow got overlooked. I plan on making both of these again over the following week. Maybe I will reshoot photos for the recipes, that is if time permits. So in the mean time please excuse the not so great photos. I can only embed one recipe per post so I apologize for only having one print-out option available.

Have a happy Sunday everyone! I’ll be back tomorrow with another recipe and better photographs.

salt, to taste
1/2 tbsp olive oil

*When tomatoes are not in season feel free to substitute with canned stewed tomatoes.

Instructions
1.Heat the oil in a heavy pot, once warm cook garlic for 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes to pan, and cook for another 5 minutes. Next add pepper, salt and oregano. Cover and allow to simmer until tomatoes have broken down.
2. Add the cream right before serving. Only cook for 3 minutes to heat through, then serve over your favorite pasta.

The next recipe is for my Roasted Tomato Basil Tart. I used a mixture of regular tomatoes, cherry and Dutch kumato tomatoes. Please feel free to use whichever variety you like.

Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese around the dough, use as much as you like. Distribute fresh basil leafs around the dough again using as much as you like. Lastly arrange the pre-roasted tomatoes around the inside of the mold. Place the tomatoes in a circular patter and skin facing down. Lastly sprinkle with more basil and grated parmesan cheese.

  3. Decorate with freshly grated parmesan and fresh basil just before serving.

    Both those dishes look delectable. There’s something about tarts in the summer but they are working well down here in winter too – just with different fillings.

      Yes, that’s funny:) You could try making an olive oil pastry-it is slightly better than butter. Thanks!

    Love the look of that tomato-basil tart: would not mind a bite just now! In your beautiful first photo are you just being artistic with a rose on the way to heaven or is that actually a woodrose? Can’t imagine these growing where you are?

      It is a dried white rose. You have such a great eye for details, I love that:)
