I have alot of tomatoes. What can I make with them?

Answer 1

Minced extra tomatoes you have before they get rotten and turn them into tomato paste by simply putting it in a container, adding little oil and salt and set on fire until you get a tomato paste. Cool and keep in a tight-closed container and keep refrigerated.

Otherwise you can use your tomatoes to make tomato juice and have tomato juice everyday. They are healthy any way.

Want to use them just the way you want to? Blanch. cool, and put in an airtight case then keep refrigerated. Use in the future the way you do, though considerable vitamins amount will be lost.

Answer 2

Make Salsa!
Or Spaghetti sauce.
Or Tomato Soup.

Answer 3

Have you tried to freeze them? I wash, cut out bad spots and put in boiling water to take off the skins. About 2-3 minutes will do it. Put in cold water to take the skins off. Then I put the tomatoes in a blender to make juice. I put in freezer bags (1 1/2- 2 cups) and freeze. Then when you want tomatoes to use in soups or whatever you want you have them.
Hope this helps

Answer 4

This is the absolute best tomato sauce you can make, and it's about the simplest too.

--Blanch your tomtoes: Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Cit an x in the blossom end of each tomato. One or two at a time, take them out of the boiling water, slip off the skins (you can do it with your fingers). cut each one in half, and gently squeeze into your trash bin or compost bin to get out most of the seeds and watery stuff--don't worry about getting it all..

--Chop the tomatoes roughly--you will need about 2 cups of chopped, peeled and seeded tomatoes, which should work out to about 2 lbs. tomatoes to start with.

--Put them in a medium saucepan. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 medium onion (peeled and cut in half), and 1/2 a cube of butter. I know that sounds like a lot, but wait until you try it. Bring just to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium-low, and keep it at a slow but steady simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until you can see that the butter has separated from the tomato.

--By that time, the onion has given up all of its vegetal sweetness--almost literally melted--into the sauce, so you'll need to fish out what's left of the onion with a spoon and discard it.
Check for salt and pepper. Toss the sauce with hot drained spaghetti, penne, or farfalle. Add a grating of Parmigiano-Reggiano and a handful of shredded fresh basil. You will not believe how good 6 ingredients can taste.

One other option: spaghetti al salto

---Bring a big pot of salted water to the boil and cook your spaghetti al dente. While that's happening, make your raw pasta sauce:

--In a medium bowl, combine 3 or so medium, perfectly-ripe tomatoes, chopped (don't bother about the skins or seeds), about a teaspoon of coarse salt, 2 medium garlic cloves (pressed), a grinding of pepper, about 1/4 cup really good extra-virgin olive oil. You can add a splash of balsamic vinegar, but I think it is better without.
--When the pasta is cooked, drain it well. Toss it with the raw tomato sauce. Add about 1 cup fresh (water-packed) mozzarella, cut into 3/4" cubes, and a handful or fresh shredded basil OR arugula (both are delicious, but your result will be very different).
--Toss until the mozzarella has softened just a little bit. Adjust salt and pepper to your taste. You can serve this withe Parmesan at the table, but with all those fresh flavors, to me it's almost like gilding the lily! Use your judgment...hope you try at least one of these: enjoy.
