Question

Answer 1

Fresh Tomatoes with Mozzarella and Prosciuto
2 or 3 fresh picked medium sized tomatoes

About 1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced not too thin
A quarter pound of sliced prosciuto or ham, cut to size of cheese, or folded over
Several leaves of fresh basil
Approximately 1/4 cup of Olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste

On a dinner-sized plate also make stacks

Answer 2

I had the same problem a few years ago, so I ended up with a lot of weird recipes....some of which aren't too good.

My favourite was Scrambled Egg & Tomatoes.
(I also had too many eggs)

Directions for 1 person:

Preperation:
Dice two medium Tomatoes into cubes,
Add 3 - 5 pinches of Basil (2 teaspoons) - Edit: I like fresh Basil
Dice two cloves of Garlic
Mix 4 - 6 Eggs in a bowl and add the Garlic

Preheat a frying pan or skillet to a medium heat.

Cooking:
Once the pan or skillet is hot enough(not too hot, you don't want to scortch the eggs), add the mixed Eggs.
Constantly flip and mix the Eggs until they are no longer "gooey",
Add the diced Tomatoes and mix constantly until the Tomatoes are hot.

It's a very simple meal, but it is rather tasty.
This may seem like a lot of eggs, but it won't turn out to be much once they are mixed.

Serve with a beverage of your choice, I recommend Milk,
and Enjoy!

Answer 3

Tomato tart

4 medium size tomatoes
about 4 oz. smoked mozzarella
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
drizzle of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt pepper and basil to taste

Open out the pastry sheet on a cookie pan. Brush with olive oil, and dock pastry in the middle, leaving about an inch all the way around the edges. In 3 rows, alternate slices of tomato with slices of mozzarella, untill sheet is covered (except edges) Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with salt, pepper and basil. (a little garlic is good too) Bake at 400 degrees for 20 min. Enjoy!

Tip: Gently soak up some of the excess juice from the tomato slices by putting them on paper towels to drain for a few minutes before assembling the tart.

Answer 4

tomatoes are very versatile. u can do a lot with them. U could make ur own ketchup. Make some jam. Or some chutney. Or u could make stuffed tomatoes the indian way. By the way Indian cooking uses a lot of tomatoes. So check out some Indian food site if u like Indian.

Answer 5

Take different varieties of tomatoes along with some sun-dried tomatoes, crushed and lightly browned pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and basil, fresh if possible, to make spaghetti sauce. You can freeze this in freezer baggies or Tupperware or can it if you are into that. It is so yummy!

Answer 6

How about cutting the tomato in half, put it on a cookie sheet, adding a thin layer of mozzerella cheese to each half and some fresh basil and broiling in the oven just until the cheese melts?

Answer 7

I roast mine in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. When they are done I use them in my spaghetti sauce or I make a roasted tomato salsa. You can also use them in a pasta salad. The roasting makes the flavor intense and it's so delicious.
Other than that, when we have too many tomatoes we chop them up and put them in individual baggies and freeze them. Then we use them when we need them for a quick sauce.

Answer 8

You got me thinking about tuna salad in a tomato.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound large vine-ripened tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon table salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons capers, chopped
12 large black olives, such as kalamata or other brine-cured variety, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Ground black pepper
1 can (16-ounce size) solid white tuna in water

Directions:

Core and halve tomatoes, then cut each half into four or five wedges. Toss wedges with salt in large bowl; let rest until small pool of liquid accumulates, 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk oil, lemon juice, capers, olives, onion, parsley, and pepper to taste in small bowl. Pour mixture over tomatoes and accumulated liquid; toss to coat. Set aside to blend flavors, about five minutes.

Crumble tuna over tomatoes; toss to combine. Adjust seasonings and serve immediately.

Lots of things to do with tomatoes and bell peppers.
Both are often on my table and I places the recipes over here:

Might be something to make in between.

Answer 10

I think I saw in a magazine awhile back ( and it looked really good) tomatoes that were cut in half and scooped out with couscous inside.
