Well summer was a bit slow on the blogging front for me... It was nice to leave technology to the side and focus on the 3D world for a while. Now that September is here it is time to reconvene with reality.
The garden tomatoes are a plenty .... we have some large heirlooms but most abundant are the strawberry tomatoes. I wanted to share a couple of the recipes that have manifested from them...
First is a roasted veg dish that was born out of panic to make something presentable for unplanned dinner guests. I had planned to have asparagus for dinner but with more people at the table the portions would have been too small..so I blanched the asparagus while roasting one large diced red onion with a beheaded garlic head with a bit of evoo and pepper (no salt) for about 15 minutes, then added the 25ish asparagus spears and about 2 c. strawberry tomatoes tossed and roasted for another 15 minutes or so..squeeze the garlic out and toss before serving. It was actually one of the best roast veg dishes I have ever had - thank goodness given that we had company.
The second is a simple soup. First saute a red onion diced in olive oil, when softened add 2 cloves fine chopped garlic, saute 1 minute. Add about 6-7 med. garden tomatoes loosely diced, 1 T. dry basil, 1/4 t. dry oregano, pepper and a dash of sea salt, 1/4t. sugar and enough organic chicken stock to cover. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Serve alongside some cheese biscuits. This is also yummy with a bit of dill added to the pot. The kids devoured this one!!
