    Not sure about the GI rating, but how about chutney. I love it when my dd has a glut of toms, can't make enough of it.

    Not sure about the GI Rating but what about a ratatouille? A good way to use up loads of veg. You could always freeze it and use it later too

    Slice them.
    Coat them with olive oil.
    Dry them on a baking sheet in the oven on lowest temperature.

    When leathery, place in a jar. Cover with olive oil and herbs.

    Tada! 'Sun-dried' tomatoes!

    Ooooh I do this to! Sprinkle them with a little salt sugar and pepper too. They are great thown into some pesto spaghetti with some rocket. My fav instant meal :drool:

    Pasta sauce - saute onions & garlic, add the tomatoes, a squirt of tom puree, teaspoon of italian herbs, a tin of chickpeas, some frozen sweetcorn and peas. Simmer for a while - this freezes really well and actually tastes better with age :)

    Roast them in the oven with a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper and then serve them as a veg with part of a meal. Or if you prefer them raw make an easy salad with lettuce, feta and olives or with mozzarella and basil. Or roast in the oven as above and then blend with hand blender to make a nice sauce for chicken / fish.

    I got a huge bag of cherry toms for £1 last time I went to Borough market, and I turned them into a nice pasta sauce. I just sauteed off some onion and garlic, then added the tomatoes, a dash of white wine and some fresh basil. I put a lid on the pan until the the tomatoes burst, then I simmered it for twenty mintues or so until it thickened. It was lovely and froze really well.
