It is that time of year when tomatoes and peppers are ripening all at once! So what do you do when you have a bumper crop of tomatoes? There is always gifting to family and friends, drive by neighbors front porch… You can also make tomato sauce, sundried tomatoes… There are so many wonderful dishes that come to mind, but I would like to share my favorite 10 recipes that are easy to make and provide a great variety of flavors.

STUFFED TOMATOES

 

Last but not least, French stuffed tomatoes. I grew up eating wonderful stuffed tomatoes my grandmother used to make. Not the heavy kind with meat in the stuffing but just perfectly ripe tomatoes, parsley, basil, garlic, olive oil, and bread crumbs. It is so simple and yet is bursting with flavors. All you have to do, is cut the top of each tomato and carefully scoop out some of the tomato flesh making sure not to poke the bottom. Mince the parsley, basil, and garlic. Mix the fresh herbs, with seasoned breadcrumbs and tomato flesh. The mix should be on the dryer side. Place the tomatoes on a parchment lined baking sheet and fill with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the top back on and bake at 375F for 15 minutes. Serve with focaccia and a green salad!

There you have it. And since most tomatoes are now grown indoors these days, you can enjoy any of these recipes all year around!
