Here we are towards the tail end of September and my garden is still going nuts with tomatoes. I love this California growing season! This picture is from a couple of weeks ago. This week I had an overflowing basket of the plum tomatoes & I just can’t keep up. I’m not into canning…(yet)…so it’s basically what I cook and give away to family & friends. The problem? I can’t give away enough fast enough. I’m not complaining by any means, I just need more recipes. Since I also have a plethora of basil in my garden it compliments well most of the dishes I prepare.
So far this summer i’ve made:
-
mixed green salad a la materazo
-
caprese salad (A LOT!)
-
fresh tomato sauce with mozzarella & basil w/ your favorite pasta
-
penne w/ shrimp, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella & basil
-
stuffed tomatoes (need to do another version of this still)
-
salsa
That’s all I got w/ my fresh tomatoes so far. I need more….
And as I proof this post I realize I need pictures of these dishes. I’m hoping to get back to my goal of one new recipe from my magazines & cookbooks every month. AND if I’m on top of my game maybe even document it here.
