Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 * Exported from MasterCook * Herb-Baked Tomatoes Recipe By : Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Deborah Madison, page 432 Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Side Dishes Vegetables Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 4 ripe but firm slicing tomatoes Salt and freshly milled pepper Extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons chopped herbs such as marjoram or lovage or dill and/or basil OR 1 teaspoon dried oregano SERVES 4 Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly oil a large, shallow baking dish. Cut the tomatoes around their equators and set them upright in the baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, drizzle with oil, cover with the herbs, and season with pepper. Bake until hot and beginning to color on top, about 20 minutes. Serve carefully, making sure they're not stuck to the pan. Variation: Prepare the tomatoes as described above, but reserve the herbs. Bake at 300F until shriveled and glazed, about 2 hours, adding the herbs for the last 30 minutes. Serve them as a vegetable or perched on a thin round of mozzarella or a slice of toast. Leftovers make a rich addition to a summer soup or sauce. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
