BALSAMIC TOMATO SALAD
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Slice the tomatoes in half and, if using plum or larger tomatoes, core them to remove the seeds . Chop the tomatoes into chunks (whatever size you desire). If using grape, cherry, or another small tomato, cut in half so they will absorb the flavors of the dressing. There's no need to seed them.
- Place the chopped tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs (if using). Toss well.
- Transfer to a serving dish and season with salt and pepper to taste. Or plate the salad individually for your guests and garnish with a sprig of fresh oregano or basil.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy flameproof casserole. Add the veal in batches and lightly brown over high heat, taking care not to crowd the meat in the pan. As the pieces are browned, remove them and place in a bowl.
- Add the remaining olive oil and the onion to the casserole, lower the heat and lightly brown the onion. Stir in 2/3 cup of the stock, 3 tablespoons of the vinegar and 1/2 cup of the tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon of the rosemary leaves.
- Return the veal to the casserole along with any juices. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. If necessary, add a little more stock during the cooking. The stew can be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead and refrigerated, or frozen for later use.
- Up to 2 hours before serving, reheat the stew. Stir in the remaining chopped tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and, if necessary, some additional stock. The stew should be quite moist. Add the remaining rosemary leaves, bring to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside, covered, until ready to serve. Just before serving, bring the stew to a simmer again, then transfer it to a serving dish and garnish with the fresh rosemary sprigs.

EASY TOMATO BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
I can't take credit for this recipe. A friend of mine who is a chef gave me this and I love it. Serve over grilled vegetables, fish and of course your favorite salad greens. One note, using a tube of the "double-concentrated" tomato paste really does make a big difference, as well as using an aged Balsamic. But I have made it with every day Balsamic and "standard" tomato paste and it still is pretty tasty. I think the rice vinegar is very important to use, and shouldn't be substituted in this recipe.

Steps:
- Dressing -- Just mix everything together and refrigerate until ready to use. I use a small tupperware container and shake all the ingredients. That way if you have leftovers, it is a great way to store them.
- ENJOY!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slightly soft texture. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have blemishes.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor. Look for a vinegar that is at least 18 years old.
- Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The vinaigrette can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the tomatoes at room temperature: Tomatoes are best served at room temperature, as this will allow their flavors to shine through.
Conclusion:
Plum tomatoes with balsamic vinaigrette is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy vinaigrette pairs perfectly with the ripe, juicy tomatoes. This dish is also a great way to use up any leftover tomatoes you may have.
