Buttered Tomatoes With Ginger Recipes

MIXED GREENS WITH TOMATO-GINGER DRESSING

• Divide greens evenly among 4 salad plates and spoon dressing over top.

BUTTERED TOMATOES WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Trim dark green tops from scallions and thinly slice; set aside for serving. Finely chop remaining white and pale green parts. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium. Add white and pale green parts of scallions and ginger and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add tomatoes and cook, turning gently with a spoon, until juicy and just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and toss to combine. Taste and season with kosher salt if needed. Top with reserved scallion greens.
• Spoon tomatoes over toast and sprinkle with more salt if desired.

SAUTEED FILLET OF SOLE WITH FRESH TOMATO AND GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place tomatoes in boiling water for about 10 seconds. Drain, and pull away skins; remove cores. Cut tomatoes crosswise and into 1/4-inch cubes.
• Heat olive oil in saucepan, add shallots and garlic. Cook briefly. Do not brown. Add tomatoes, ginger, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes.
• Place tomato mixture in a blender. Add 1 tablespoon butter, and blend quickly to a fine texture. Check seasoning; transfer to small saucepan and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Pour milk into a shallow bowl; put the flour on a dish. Dredge each fillet with flour, patting so flour adheres and shaking to remove excess.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place as many fillets in the pan as will fit in one layer without crowding.
• Brown fillets thoroughly on one side; turn, and brown on other side. Cooking will take about 2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Do not overcook.
• Divide tomato mixture equally among four warm serving plates. Place fillets over tomatoes, and keep warm.
• While the pan is still warm, wipe it out with a paper towel and return it to medium-high heat. Add the remaining butter, and cook until hazelnut brown. Add lemon juice, and pour equally over each serving. Top with basil or parsley.

CREAMY CARROT, TOMATO, AND GINGER SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. In a 3-quart baking dish (such as a 9-by-13-inch), toss carrots, sweet potato, tomatoes, and ginger with cup oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until liquid has evaporated and vegetables have caramelized slightly, about 1 hour.
• In a medium saucepan, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add roasted vegetables with any accumulated juices and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes.
• Transfer to a blender and let stand until no longer steaming, about 5 minutes. Add butter and blend until completely smooth. (If too thick for your taste, you can add more water, a few tablespoons at a time, until desired consistency is reached.) Season to taste and serve with crusty bread, topped with more pepper and oil.
