Garlic Kissed Tomatoes Recipes

ROASTED TOMATOES WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a piece of aluminum foil over a baking sheet.
• Place the tomatoes and garlic into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the grape tomatoes in the preheated oven until the skins pop and start to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

BASIL AND TOMATO FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Heat a large wok or 12-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, then pour in the beaten egg. Cook for 15 to 30 seconds, allowing the bottom to set slightly, before stirring and turning until just set. Break up the egg slightly, then remove from the wok and set aside.
• Heat the wok over high. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, along with the onions, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until slightly softened. Add the garlic and bird's-eye chiles and stir for 15 to 30 seconds, until fragrant. Next, add the tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing every now and then, until the tomatoes are softened. (Reduce heat to medium-high if it starts getting too smoky or the garlic begins to scorch.)
• Add the rice, soy sauce and half the basil, and season with 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt, to taste. Reduce heat to medium-high and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes, allowing the rice to soak up the tomato juices. As the liquid cooks off, the rice will char (though less so if using a nonstick pan) and develop some smoky flavors.
• Add the egg and remaining basil and toss for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and check seasonings, adding some black pepper and more salt if needed. Serve immediately.

VINE-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Keeping the tomatoes on the vine, divide them into sets of three. Using a sharp knife, make a small incision in each tomato.
• In a small bowl, combine the thyme, garlic, salt and ground black pepper. Using the blade of a knife, insert a little of this mixture into each slash of the tomatoes.
• Place the tomatoes in a roasting tray, just big enough to hold all the tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and roast for 20-30 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened. Serve warm.
