TOMATOES WITH LEMON THYME



Tomatoes With Lemon Thyme image

This is so simple that it is almost an embarrassment to post as a recipe. I snagged the idea from the August 2007 Martha Stewart Living, and loved the combination of the herb and the fresh tomatoes. She suggests that placing this salad in the sun for 20 minutes before serving will help the individual flavors meld. That is one thing that you wouldn't want to do with potato salad. LOL (Cook time is the time for flavors to meld.)

SLOW-ROASTED HEIRLOOM TOMATOES WITH FRESH THYME



Slow-Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes With Fresh Thyme image

Like any other tomato recipe, this dish lives or dies with the perfectly ripened tomato. Commercial growers breed for size, shape and hardiness of shipping, but you should put your emphasis on taste rather than appearance. I'm a willing taker for tomatoes that are not so stunning-looking because I know how good they taste.''

Provided by William Norwich

Categories     project, appetizer, side dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 medium heirloom perfectly ripened tomatoes, preferably a mix of red, yellow and green
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 sprigs of thyme, leaves removed and finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. In a large saucepan of boiling water, blanch the tomatoes for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon or strainer and immediately chill in a bowl of ice water or rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking. The skins will slip right off. Cut the tomatoes in half, crosswise. Gently squeeze each half to remove seeds.
  • Oil a 12-by-8-inch or 14-inch oval baking dish and sprinkle with half of the garlic and thyme. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Now arrange the tomato halves, cut sides up, in the dish and baste with the remaining oil. Season generously with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the remaining garlic, thyme and vinegar.
  • Bake the tomatoes for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. When done, they will be soft and just starting to caramelize but still hold their shape. Spoon the pan juices up over the tomatoes and serve from the baking dish.

PRESERVED TOMATOES WITH LEMON THYME



Preserved Tomatoes with Lemon Thyme image

Gently baked plum tomatoes, sprinkled with lemon thyme and marinated in olive oil (we like the peppery taste of Ravida or Colonna oilve oil), are juicy beauties to accompany torn pieces of a flour-dusted Italian loaf.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds small plum tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lemon thyme leaves
1 tablespoon sea salt flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for filling jar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes, and cook 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to the ice-water bath to stop the cooking; let cool completely in ice-water bath. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and let drain.
  • Slit tomatoes lengthwise, leaving halves attached along 1 edge. Open each tomato like a book, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until edges have shriveled slightly, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, stir together garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon thyme, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle one side of each tomato with about 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mixture; fold over other side.
  • Layer tomatoes in a sterilized, dry 1-quart jar. Pour in enough oil to cover tomatoes. Place a round of waxed paper on surface to keep them submerged. Refrigerate at least 24 hours; let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.
