Do you plant tomatoes? We plant a lot. Along with onions, garlic and wine 😁 they are a staple for us. I can make many meals with this combination - the wine is for drinking lol.
I used to buy a lot of tinned tomatoes but last year I decided I was only using fresh and frozen tomatoes. The frozen are perfect for my "homemade tomato pasta sauce". Although the skins come off easier once they are frozen I don't bother taking them off - I just blitz them with an immersion blender after they are cooked.
Right now we are waiting for some ripe tomatoes but in the mean time I am going to make a recipe that one of our lovely customers sent me.
It’s a Chicken Salsa Verde from Kenjis cooking show - I substitute green tomatoes because I don’t grow tomatillos (and I can’t get them locally anyway)
Tomato storage tips -
Do not refrigerate.
Store at room temperature, stem side down (out of the sun)
Freeze whole washed tomatoes in a ziplock bag. These are perfect for sauces, purees and salsas.
