I hope that you are having a nice week. I'm starting to feel more hopeful, as it's already Thursday, can't wait for the weekend to begin!
Today I took a look into
my blog archives and collected some of my past tomato recipes
together in this post, as I am celebrating The VegHog's Tomato Festival this week. There are still a few more new recipes to come as well.
So here are 12 of some of my favourite tomato
recipes. I love it how versatile tomatoes are, I hope you'll like
this compilation.
Tomato Focaccia– A beautiful homemade focaccia recipe inspired by the Forest Feast
vegetarian cookbook and so easy to make.
Vegetarian Spaghetti Bolognese – A pasta classic, which is very tasty as
the vegetarian version made with loads of tomatoes, meat-free mince
and baby button mushrooms.
Fried heirloom tomato pizza – Pizza with spelt crust and a new method of pizza
making, first pan-fried then baked under the grill in the oven. Nice
with quality heirloom tomatoes.
Tomato and basil risotto – This is a summery, succulent and light risotto
and a bit different to the ones that I would usually make.
Rye Bruschetta
– Rye bread, tomato and garlic are a great and filling combination,
wonderful as breakfast or lunch.
Mixed summer salad – Summer salad with tomatoes, fresh garden peas, mixed
salad leaves, pine nuts, great to eat in the summer in many
variations.
Oven Tomatoes –
This is a nice idea to make sundried tomato style oven tomatoes at
home. What a tasty side dish they make with an intense tomato taste.
Butternut squash and pepper lasagne – Veggie lasagne with char-grilled
butternut squash slices, a basic tomato sauce and homemade lasagne
sheets.
Heirloom tomato and pesto barley flatbreads – Homemade barley bread topped with
pesto, mozzarella and tomatoes. This is my kind food!
Savoury spelt crêpes with cheese and tomato – Filled savoury crêpes are
such a perfect breakfast and cheese and tomato are a dream filling
for them.
Tomato tart
– I quite often make this kind of easy tarts with cheese and
vegetables. When using ready made pastry, they are easy yet tasty
weekday meals or great to take with to a picnic or even to serve at a
small gathering.
Insalata Caprese – Probably the best summer food ever! I have posted
this dish also several times, because it's one of my favourite
classics.
Your VegHog
Each and everyone looks lovely, but its the Tomato Focaccia that is calling my name. I don't think I am going to get round to sharing a new recipe by Sunday for your Tomato Festival (as my home growing tomatoes are still very green), but I may get a chance to write up a similar post to this to link up, I hope this is okay with you.
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be lovely, if you post something tomato related, but don't worry, it doesn't have to be this week. I like that focaccia very much and it's also very simple to make.
