Tomatoes are, and always have been, one of my favorite things to eat. Growing up, picking tomatoes in my grandmother’s vegetable garden was my best “chore” that did not feel like one at all.
Peak season, in the summer, I love tomatoes served fresh and simple with coarse sea salt.
But here are some other creative and delicious ways to enjoy tomatoes this month:
{ps.} the heirloom tomato cobbler is one of my absolute August favorites!
Pink peppercorn and heirloom tomato and basil quiche
Roasted tomato and yellow plum gazpacho
Tomato carpaccio with blueberry vinaigrette
And to enjoy that sweet tomato taste later in the year, you can make this addictively savory tomato jam.
You’ve got all the tastes of summer in this post! The cobbler sounds especially interesting and tomato jam is always welcome.
The cobbler is one of my dad’s favorites!:)
Summer is all about tomatoes…love your first photo, it is terrific.
Thank you, Karen! And I compeltely agree.
