Tomato season is at its late-summer peak, which means that it’s time to start thinking about how we can take advantage of the abundance of this juicy and ripe fruit in our recipes. While adding tomato to a salad or on top of a burger is something that we all know about, what are some other ways to use tomatoes to make a tasty treat? Here are three suggestions that you should try out!
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sun-dried tomatoes are a classic Mediterranean treat which results in a sweet and flavorful topping for salads and pizza alike. If you really love the flavor, you can eat them on your own as well! Don’t stress if you can’t use the sun to dry tomatoes where you live, as this can also be done in the oven.
Tomato Toast
Do you like having toast in the morning? If so, why not put the jams and jellies to the side and try out a savory tomato toast before you head out to work? Adding a couple of thick tomato slices along with olive oil and sea salt is a great way to put a spin on this classic breakfast item.
Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried green tomatoes are a Southern United States favorite that is made by taking an underripe “green” tomato, coating it in batter, and frying it in hot oil. Fried green tomatoes are one of our favorite side dishes and appetizer options of all time!
