“Lucci was heartened; there was still good in the world, perhaps. Then he smelled a smell that made him heady, crêpes, and he could isolate each of the ingredients as he never could before: butter, sugar, flour, milk, even a little rum. He felt the ground until he found the plate, and pressed his fingers into a soft stack two inches high.” -Lauren Groff, Delicate Edible Birds Spicy Sun Dried Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese with Bacon, Basil and Havarti _ _ Delicious.

Tomato cobbler | Fried Green Tomatoes with Tomato Brown Sugar Chutney. Have you ever gotten up in the morning and said to yourself, today I have got to make me some fried green tomatoes? Yeah, me neither. In fact I never even ate my first fried green tomato until I was about 45 years old, and it was this very recipe with the tomato chutney. I guess if you grew up in the South, where they are part of the fabric of life, you would be eating this traditional side dish frequently.
But I made it once, liked it very much, especially with this killer chutney, and then moved on to the next culinary experiment. But I filed it in my mental file of great recipes that I would like to do again some time in the future. One of the impediments to making fried green tomatoes is that the local grocery markets don’t carry them here in California. So last Saturday, my friend and fellow blogger Adair, of Lentil Breakdown fame, and I walked over to the Torrance Farmers Market, which is two blocks from my new house.
Print Recipe Tomato and Brown Sugar Chutney Makes about 2 cups 1. Oven-Dried Tomatoes - tomatotango.com. Something has gone terribly wrong with grocery store tomatoes. They masquerade as plump, fire-colored fruit, but if you look closely, you’ll notice their hue is pale. Take one home—and this will put a pretty dent in your pocketbook—and you’ll discover it is mealy, tasteless, an utter waste of money. But there is a silver lining: the awful quality of grocery store tomatoes make tomatoes the easiest fruit to eat in season. I am convinced that no tomato can taste good out of season, so during these months I usually opt for canned tomatoes or no tomatoes.
When tomatoes started showing up at the Farmers Market and the prices dropped to $1/pound, I sang for joy. A revival of home canning and preserving has been sparked by the push to eat locally-grown and in-season foods. Since these tomatoes aren’t completely dehydrated, they do need to be kept in the freezer for long term storage. Ingredients tomatoes olive oil salt and pepper herbs (optional) Preparation. Quick Tomato Salsa. I can’t believe I forgot this!
I also made this quick salsa as part of my cooking therapy of last Saturday. So that’s 6 recipes in one day. I’d say that’s quite the therapy… I guess at that point, we could almost call it bootcamp! See, the thing is I started all over again the following day, only this time there were 8 of us around the table, and I decided to go “free willy”, i.e. not to write down any recipes and not to take any pictures. No pressure this time! Well… almost! And I fed them allright! So anyway, back to Saturday… Among the goodies that my mom was carrying in her hands when she entered my home was this beautiful bag of Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips. Oh, how I love those. I immediately thought I needed to whip up a quick salsa to go with them. This salsa came togther in no time at all and was so full of flavor, it didn’t even need to macerate. But if you’re gonna have chips, might as well go with the better ones! Just make sure you pile that dip really, really high!
Spicy Garden Salsa. One thing you will most certainly never find a lack of in our home is spicy food. I think I have seen my husband literally drink hot sauce out of the bottle before. We have dried ghost chilies in our cupboard and hot sauces ranging in origin from Mexico to Africa. So, of course we have a few favorite spicy salsas – and this is one super fresh, garden version we love. (Don’t worry, it’s not too intimidating) My favorite part of this salsa was that almost everything was from either my garden or spice cabinet. The heat from this comes from a combination of fresh jalapeno mixed with a dash of Tabasco sauce. The garden freshness is a delicious mixture of fresh garden tomatoes, cilantro, and chives. I can’t wait to kick back with my favorite chilled drink (check out last week’s ice cream floats!)
Also, I highly recommend making your own tortilla chips, they are super easy and delicious! ***Come celebrate with us this week, enter for your chance to win a $25 gift card to Amazon! Enjoy! MOZZARELLA SI ROSII GRATINATE.
