HERBED CHERRY TOMATOES
Meet the Cook: My recipe's a good one for when you want a little fancier salad dish but one that's still quick to fix. I find it's especially popular served with grilled steak, baked potatoes and corn on the cob. I came across Herbed Cherry Tomatoes when I was a new bride searching for interesting ways that I could cook for my husband.

HEIRLOOM TOMATOES WITH HERBED RICOTTA
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, scallions, dill, chives, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside for up to 30 minutes.
- With a small serrated knife, cut the larger tomatoes in wedges through the stem and the smaller tomatoes in half through the stem. Place them in a medium bowl with the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
- When ready to serve, add the basil to the tomatoes and combine. Pile the ricotta in a large (12-inch) round shallow bowl or oval platter. Using a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes around the ricotta, discarding any liquid. Drizzle the tomatoes and ricotta with olive oil, sprinkle with the reserved basil and fleur de sel, and serve at room temperature.
- Set a fine-mesh sieve over a deep bowl. Dampen 2 pieces of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with a double layer of the cheesecloth.
- Pour the milk and cream into a medium stainless-steel or enameled pot, such as Le Creuset, and stir in the salt. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and pour in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for one minute, until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
- Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 minutes (for soft ricotta) to 25 minutes (for firmer ricotta), occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl. Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining liquid. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The ricotta will keep, refrigerated, for 4 to 5 days.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES
This is one of the easiest side dishes I've found. I don't even like most tomatoes, but I love these sweet little cherry tomatoes. This is the basic recipe, but you can also add slivered garlic to the roasting pan and/or chopped fresh basil and Parmesan cheese at the end. Very good with pasta!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put tomatoes, herbs, oil, salt, and pepper into a large bowl; toss to combine. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast until tomatoes begin to collapse, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely.
Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, firm cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, thyme, and oregano will give your tomatoes the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from roasting evenly.
- Roast the tomatoes at a high temperature: Roasting the tomatoes at a high temperature will help to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness.
- Season the tomatoes to taste: Once the tomatoes are roasted, season them to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Roasted cherry tomatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are also a great way to use up leftover cherry tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of roasted cherry tomatoes that will be sure to please everyone at the table.
