Favorite tomatoe recipes?

[Commander Quan]

Tomato Salad
Sliced tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper.


Tomato Pie
I could eat 10 of these in one sitting they are one of my favorite recipes. Sorry about the caps, I copied it from an email my mom sent me, blame her

PEEL YOUR TOMATOES FIRST, CUT THEM INTO THICK SLICES OR QUARTERS. IF THEY ARE REAL JUICY, LAY ON A PAPER TOWEL WHILE COMPLETING THE RECIPE.

2 CUPS BISQUICK MIXED WITH 2/3 CUP MILK

SPRAY PAN, PAT THE MIXTURE INTO THE BOTTOM AND SIDES OF THE PIE PLATE. IT'S BEST IF YOU ALSO SPRAY YOUR FINGERS, SPATULA OR WHATEVER YOU ARE USING TO PUSH THE DOUGH AROUND.

COVER DOUGH WITH TOMATOES, ONION SLICES, APRINKLE WITH GARLIC POWDER OR SALT, ITALIAN SEASONING, BASIL, PEPPER AND SALT (IF YOU USE GARLIC SALT, YOU MAY ELIMINATE THE REGULAR SALT OR ONLY USE SMALL AMOUNT)

1 CUP MAYO AND 1 CUP GRATED SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE, MIX TOGETHER AND SPREAD ON TOP

I THEN SHRED MORE CHEESE AND BREAK UP BACON OVER TOP.

BAKE 400 DEGREES FOR 35 MINUTES (OR MAYBE 40-45, BEGIN WATCHING AT 35 YOU WANT IT GOOD AND BROWN) IT WILL PROBABLY RUN OVER SOME IN YOUR OVEN.

I prefer to make caprese with a mix of various cherry tomatoes - as many different types, and colors, as I can get my hands on at the time (in other words, whatever three to five different types of cherry tomatoes I'm growing that year) adds a variety of flavors right there. Cut tomatoes in half lenghtwise, for larger cherry tomatoes, quarter them. Other than that, about the same - mix with sliced/quartered small fresh mozzerella balls, basil (I tend to mix a few different types of fresh basil - thai, sweet, sacred, lemon, again, same as the tomatoes, whatever I'm growing that year), EVOO, balsamic vinegar (optional), salt & pepper. Sprinkle a tiny bit of chopped fresh rosemary on top (optional).

I'm going to have to try that tomato pie once more of my larger tomatoes come in. I had never heard of that before now. Thanks.

Fresh tomatoes with a little salt, fresh mozz, fresh basil and a drizzle of EVOO is a gift from God.
My next favorite raw veggie dish this time of year is:
chopped tomato
thin sliced and chopped fennel (stalks or bulb - I use a mandolin for the bulb)
minced red onion
coarse kosher salt
fresh lemon juice
Let sit at least an hour
I keep a very light touch with the salt and sometimes leave it out altogether and if you want to add pepper keep it light too. The three veggies and the lemon juice really make an amazing blend. Celery can make a good addition too.

It seriously is one of my favorite foods ever, but how could it not be? It has Bacon, Cheese and Mayo aka the holy trinity.

Add a little balsamic vinegar and that'll do nicely.

I also remembered a different tomato recipe that I do sometimes, which involves slicing the tomatoes, topping them with crumbled blue cheese and chopped red onion, and then drizzling them with olive oil and worcestershire sauce. Very good stuff.
