what can I do with 4 packs of fresh tomatoes?

Question

I've bought 4 packs of tomatoes by accident on my online shop and have run out of ideas for what to do with them. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Tomatoe Sandwiches.

Answer 2

Bruschetta is awesome, my husband and I live on it!! Heres the recipe:
French baguette, sliced about 1/2 in (diagonal is pretty)
Extra virgin olive oil
dried basil
garlic salt
Parmesan cheese
chopped cherry tomatoes
fresh ground pepper
dried oregano (opt)
Drizzle (don't drench) the sliced bread with evoo and put in oven on a cookie sheet at 375. While that's in the oven, mix tomatoes with the other ingredients. The amounts are up to you. Start with a 1/2 teaspoon of each, and adjust to your own taste. Go easy on the parm, the pepper and especially the evoo (just a tbs of evoo is plenty, too much and it tastes horrible). Keep adding as much seasoning as you like and if you put too much of something, just add more tomatos. By the time you are done with the tomatoe mixture, the bread should be done (maybe 5-10 mins). The top will not brown b/c of the oil, but the bottom should get nice and browned. You can brown as light or dark as you like. You can scoop the tomato with the bread like chips & salsa or prepare it by scooping the tomato onto the bread and present it that way on a platter. This is great b/c it is good warm out of the oven, or room temp. I hope you try it, it's really is great!

Add it to your omelette. Entertain a party with tomatoes stuffed with tuna or something like that. Make a LOAD of spaghettie sauce and freeze it for those days when you're really tired. Just use red tomatoes for the first recipe below. The second recipe involves steak!

Answer 4

If you have a food dehydrate you can dry them and use later in all types of salads calling for sun dried tomatoes. They are very expensive if you have to buy them. You can wash, cut them up and freeze for later use in chili, etc. Then you can also put them in the blender to make sauce and freeze for later use or cook sauce down until thick to make tomato paste.

The bruschetta recipe above is an excellent idea too. It is very good.

Answer 5

Pico! Fresh salsa; Tomato, onion, jalapeneo, avocado if you want. Tomato sauce? Slice and eat raw with salt? OK, not this time of year. Cream of tomato soup with grilled cheese!!

Answer 6

Slice them in half and put salt&pepper&chopped garlic on them and bake them in the oven @250 for 3 hours, let them cool and remove the skin then stir it into some hot pasta with some grated parmesan cheese. Call some of your friends, pour some wine, put on some music, and enjoy .Dont forget the bread!!

Answer 7

You could make lots and lots of stew with tomatoes in it and give it to a homeless shelter. Or just give them the tomatoes and see what the cooks there can do with it :)

Answer 8

marinated tomatoes - quarter and remove the seeds. Then mix with olive oil, red wine vinegar (enough of the liquids to cover them), salt, pepper, fresh parley and garlic. Let them sit overnigh. They are so good. You can serve them over a salad or eat them by themselves.

Answer 9

Oh this is so easy.

Let them ripen...like a looong time until they are really, really ripe.

Attend one of the free art performances somewhere around your city. Pick a particular performer, and really give it to him/her. It will be a performance they never forget.

Or better yet...if you are an artist yourself go to your next performance armed. If you don't like the way the audience responds, introduce their faces to your extra tomatoes. It will be a performance they never forget.

Answer 10

Make salsa by cutting up the tomatoes and then cutting up one of those purplish onions. You can get a seasoning packet from jewel or a grocery store or you can add your own
