The tomatoes are finally coming in – fast and furious! That means time to figure out yet another way to eat them up.
Today, I blended up three gallons of tomato sauce so Victor can make sauce on Wednesday. I’ll probably have at least another gallon by then so I’ll be doing a lot of canning Wednesday night. I just core and chop and put into the blender – skin and all – and into gallon jugs and into the ‘fridge.
I took a couple of the absolute best ones and stuffed them with a wheat berry filling. It was a bit of a clean-out-the-refrigerator salad. My favorite kind.
It had 2 cups of cooked wheat berries – I just put a cup of them in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 20 minutes – along with:
- a diced yellow zucchini
- 1 roasted red pepper
- 2 ears of corn
- scallions
- a small jar of artichoke hearts
- fresh basil, thyme, oregano, and parsely
- S&P
- olive oil
- fig balsamic vinegar
I just hollowed out the tomato and filled it with the salad.
These tomatoes are just so damned good that I am really looking forward to eating them in all of their various guises! There is just no comparison to supermarket tomatoes. None.
I work late tomorrow so I’m thinking of something simple for Wednesday… maybe grilled?!?
We shall see…
