So far this week we’ve had tomato salad. Lots of tomatoes with sandwiches and spaghetti in a tomato sauce.

Any other suggestions please? I haven’t really got time to roast them up into a passatta

    If you have a freezer they freeze very well. Open freeze if you can, they are easy to skin when frozen and pop in a bag use as required instead of tinned.
    If wanting fresh - salsa uses quite a few and is pretty versatile.

    Tomato soup can use loads.

    Base for a curry? Or a salsa to go on the side.
    Fry up with cooked tomatoes.
    I'd also say freeze some for another time.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Make up spaghetti sauce and freeze in portion bags.

    Tomato tart

    Sheet of puff pastry & use a sharp knife to score a border around the edge of the pastry sheet. Use a fork to !!!!! the remainder of the pastry sheet.

    You must put the pastry on a metal baking tray

    Spread some pesto over the central part of the pastry sheet & then thinly tomatoes & layer the tomato over the pesto. Grinding of salt & pepper.

    Bake in a hot oven until the edge & eat fresh.

    You can garnish with fresh basil & grated parmesan.

    You can make individual tarts if you prefer.

    HM tomato ketchup is great if you have the time to make it. Otherwise I'd stew them lightly and freeze.

    Hi,


    home made tomato soup, don't forget to add basil, and some chilli, if you like it nippy.

    Thank you so much. Some fab ideas here. I didn’t realise you could freeze them either!

    When I had a glut of cherry toms a few years back I cut loads in half and open froze the halves - that way they were ready and waiting to be put on top of HM pizza. ;)

    There are also various online recipes for drying them in the oven and then either freezing or preserving in olive oil, ready to use later.

    Yummy!
