Oven-Roasted Tomatoes Someone around here jumped the gun here on early harvested tomatoes and I came home the other day and found a bowl of les tomates Campari in a little paper sack, in the kitchen. Since they weren’t as nice and softened as a full-on ripe tomato should be, instead of eating them on their own, I oven-roasted them, which is a great way to coax out flavor from less-than-pristine tomatoes. This is the perfect technique for both concentrating flavor and preserving tomatoes, something I also do at the end of the season. Because fresh tomatoes come from plants, and aren’t standardized (or at least they shouldn’t be) – moisture, ripeness, and variety are some of the various factors that come in to play – so the roasting time may vary. I especially like to roast tomatoes when I have something else in the oven, because I don’t always want to keep the oven lit, especially in the summer. Then I smushed down a few tomatoes on it, topped it with crumbled feta, and scattered a fresh herbs on top.

Gazetenin pazar ekine şöyle bir göz gezdirirken, portakal suyunu yudumladınız. Peynirle, zeytinle, domatesle, salatalıkla, bol yeşillikle dolu tabaklara şöyle bir göz gezdirip, kahvaltınıza yumurtayla başlamaya karar verdiniz. İçinizden bu sefer olmuştur inşallah deyip, yumurtanın kabuğunu kırdınız. I-ıh...Olmamış...Yine, rafadan isterken katı, kayısı isterken rafadan yumurta yemek zorunda kaldınız. Fakat belki de bu pazar tam istediğiniz gibi bir yumurta yiyebileceksiniz. Yumurta pişirmek çok kolay gibi görünse de bazı konulara dikkat edilmezse ve pişirme süresi iyi ayarlanmazsa, keyifle rafadan ya da kayısı kıvamında yumurta yiyememek gibi sorun oluşabilir. Yumurtaların tazeliğine özen göstermek gerek. Rafadan Yumurta: Oda sıcaklığında bekleyen yumurtayı, kaynar su dolu yumurta tenceresinin içine bir kaşık yardımıyla yavaşça koyun. Yumurtanın, kaynama derecesinin altındaki suya kırılıp, pişirilmesine poşe etmek deniyor.

sophistimom all natural red velvet brownies You know the expression, “beat a dead horse?” I’d say it’s probably time I moved on from the all-natural red velvet cake thing, but a lot of you keep asking for brownies, so read on, my friends, and I’ll give you my recipe.

Cook Like a Champion Glorious Treats Basic Meals—Just Add Water A simple zucchini soup. Photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman. Last week I wrote about our first meal in Italy with the Motturas—the fineness of the meal and the pleasures of sitting down to many courses. But many courses didn’t mean many elaborate courses but rather food of the simplest order. I’ve long espoused the value of water, devoting a whole chapter to its many uses in Ruhlman’s Twenty, and I was pleased to see it used so efficiently here. The following is the mise en place—zucchini, aromatic vegetables, inexpensive white wine, olive oil, and salt. Those worrying that cooking is too difficult or time consuming, consider zucchini soup. Now I’m preparing for Brian Polcyn’s arrival, and a pig, to film a promotional video for our new book, Salumi: The Craft of Italian Dry Curing, just out this week! Serves 2 (can be doubled) Other links you may like: © 2012 Michael Ruhlman.
