So now I have more tomatoes than I know what to do with - we are picking one of these full every other day. Here is another family favorite tomato recipe.

Mom's Tomatoes & Mozzarella

4 large tomatoes

1 clove garlic

1 tblsp wine vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

3 tblsp olive oil

scallions

1/2 cup chopped parsley

pepper

fresh mozzarella

Mix together garlic, vinegar, salt. Add olive oil and mix. Pour 2/3 mixture over tomatoes. Scatter onions, parsley and pepper. Slice fresh mozzarella and place on top of tomatoes and pour rest of dressing over. Enjoy!

FINALLY! We have red tomatoes! For a while, I was doubting whether or not we'd be able to use any of the hundreds of tomatoes we have....they've been green forever, and it seemed like more just kept growing without any turning. But alas, they have started to turn. We actually went out and picked enough last night to make some Herbed Tomatoes with dinner. This is my grandmother's recipe and it is so yummy:

Memere's Herbed Tomatoes

6 Ripe tomatoes, peeled and sliced (I do not peel mine, just slice 'em)

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1/4 cup snipped parsley

1/4 cup snipped chives

2/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup vinegar

Place tomatoes in bowl, sprinkle seasoning and herbs. Combine oil & vinegar, pour over. Cover and chill for 3 hours, spooning dressing over a few times. Enjoy!
