recipe for loads of tomatoes

[scotchick]

Maybe this should have gone under 'food'.

Anyway, have a glut of tomatoes. Any ideas for how to use them? Any recipes for a tomatoey sauce or anything?

a whole article with recipes in the latest Sainsbury's magazine about gluts of tomatoes!
I would roast them and turn them into yummy sauce for pasta and pizza

soup? Delia online and BBC food website good for recipes

What about gazpacho, it's cool and yummy?

you can semi-cuit them and keep them in a jar under oil then use them for pastas as and when. they're particularly nice if you half them, splash them with olive oil and orange juice and chopped rosemary before putting them in the oven at a low temp for, say six hours.

any particular oil you should use?
I did chillies last year and they went strange and furry?

We have loads of yellow ones and it made me think that we never see them for sale in shops/markets , does anyone?

My gran who is french used to make the most delicious ratatouille from my grandads tomatoes.Maybe not very exotic fayre but lovely and heartwarming served with crusty french bread.Yummy.Brings back childhood memories....

Slice them in two, put them in a roasting pan, with whole peeled cloves of garlic, drizzle with olive oil salt and pepper and roast in oven. Then liquidise and sieve - the yummiest tomato sauce for pasta/pizza.

you can make fried green tomatoes with the yellow ones, they are lovely. or ripen your toms by putting them in brown paper bags in the airing cupboard with a banana, that's what my dad used to do. you gotta remember about the banana, though.
i think with regards to the oil you have to sterilise the jar you are putting them into, then i would keep them in the fridge and use them fairly quickly. it's pretty hypothetical for us, though, as most get eaten on the way out of the oven .

yes, I have yellow ones too, delicious, don't know why they are so unheard of
