JUICY TOMATOES WITH PARMESAN-OLIVE BREAD CRUMBS



Juicy Tomatoes With Parmesan-Olive Bread Crumbs image

This mouthwatering salad of ripe, juicy tomatoes is dressed with a quick, vinegary dressing and finished with cheesy, garlicky bread crumbs, which bring pizza flavors to this summery dish. The tomatoes are salted for seasoning, but also to make their sweet juices pool out, creating a saucy base. Made with a combination of Parmesan, olives, garlic, spices and citrus zest, the bread crumbs can be prepared one week in advance. (Store in an airtight container and "refresh" them by warming them in the oven or on a stove-top until crisp and fragrant. Make extra to go on caramelized zucchini pasta or even lemony shrimp and white bean stew) Serve the tomatoes as a grand appetizer, or as a light supper with grilled chicken or steak.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds ripe tomatoes (such as a mix of cherry, campari and heirloom varieties)
Salt and black pepper
5 ounces day-old country-style bread without crust
1 1/2 ounces thinly shaved or coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
3 ounces pitted green olives (such as Castelvetrano, picholine or Cerignola), roughly chopped
2 teaspoons finely grated orange or lemon zest (or a combination)
1 teaspoon fennel seeds or red-pepper flakes (or a combination)
2 garlic cloves
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Slice larger tomatoes into ½-inch rounds or wedges, and cut smaller tomatoes in half and spread out on a serving platter or individual plates. Season them generously with salt and also black pepper, if you'd like.
  • Tear the bread into small, 1-inch pieces, then pulse in a food processor until you have coarse crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, olives, zest, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, if using. Finely grate the garlic into the bowl then add 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss everything together very well.
  • Transfer the bread-crumb mixture to a sheet pan and place on a middle rack in the oven. Toast, stirring two or three times, until the crumbs are golden brown, the olives have shriveled slightly and your kitchen starts to smell a little like a pizzeria, 17 to 23 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • To serve, drizzle the tomatoes with the vinegar followed by the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Just before you're ready to serve, sprinkle the bread-crumb mixture over the top.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the final dish, so be sure to choose ripe, flavorful ones. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes. This will add depth of flavor and color to your dish. Try using a combination of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
  • Slice the tomatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the oven. If you're using different types of tomatoes, slice them to a similar size so that they cook at the same rate.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the tomatoes so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the tomatoes will steam instead of roast and they won't be as flavorful.
  • Season the tomatoes generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings. A generous sprinkling of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will help to bring out the flavor of the tomatoes.
  • Roast the tomatoes until they are tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the type of tomatoes you are using and how thick you sliced them. But generally, you want to roast the tomatoes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Serve the tomatoes immediately: Broiled Parmesan tomatoes are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy. They can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a main course.

Conclusion:

Broiled Parmesan tomatoes are a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
