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!
