Gotta love those Jersey tomatoes!  The only time I really enjoy tomatoes are in the summer, rarely eat them any other time of year.
I always love a good tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basil salad. With some olive oil vinegarette. Or just tomato sandwiches. Tomato & mayo on bread. |
MMMMM Fresh tomatoe sandwhich  |
| i LOVE tomato sandwiches.......white bread, mayo on both pieces, tomato, salt and pepper....and if im lucky and happen to have a vidallia onion...on that goes too........sigh.....
I want real tomatoes instead of ours that tastle like cardboard...lol.....lucky girl, you! |
| not sure what a Jersey Tomatoe is....but when I was given a Large amount of Roma tomatoes I froze them......cord out the stem ...left the skin on...put them in vac-u pack bags......then when you want them for cooking......you take them out wait a couple hours and the skin comes right of of them.....I did so many I broke a shelf in the freezer..they didn't weight that much when I did them.....guess frozen weighs more |
| My vote is for BLT's! Love them.
Another good one is to take a tomato and quarter it - from the top, not cutting all the way through to the bottom with each cut. Spread open the tomato - like a flower, and stuff with prepared tuna or chicken salad. Very heavenly and easy. |
| I am loving your replies!
There is nothing like a Jersey (beefsteak) tomato from your own backyard. I am going to freeze some as suggested. My son, my cousin & I have them growing in our yards. We can't eat them all b/f they get too ripe! Besides BLTs, mozz, tomato & balsamic vinegrette salad & tomato & mayo sandwiches, they make a great frittatta w/ basil (also from my garden). I saw a recipe for tomato bread, maybe I'll try it. Thx! |
| Home made Tomato Sauce
1 small onion, skinned and chopped 1 small carrot, peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon of real butter 1 tablespoon of plain flour 1lb of tomatos quatered 1 1/4 cups of chicken stock (can be made from stock cubes) 1/2 bay leaf 1 clove 1 teaspoon sugar salt & black craked pepper (season to taste) 2 teaspoons of Tomato paste (optional) 1-4 tablespoons of white wine or sherry (optional) Melt butter in a pan and lighty fry the onion and carrot in the butter for 5 mins. Stir in flour and add tomatos, stock and flavourings/ Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Sieve, then reheat. Tomato paste may be added to give a fuller flavour and deeper red colour. The wine or sherry may be added just before serving. Great sauce to go on steaks, chicken heck a lot of stuff, even nice for dipping hot crusty bread in. Works well for tossing through pasta as well you can add even cooked chicken, cooked mushroom as well to the pasta and sauce and toss the lot through the pasta with parmasen cheese on top of the pile before serving
Can be stored in a sterile jar in the fridge for later use or even frozen too
Did you grow them yourself sue? If you did well yum yum yum nothing better then ones straight from the garden, real tomatos full of flavour. |
| gazpacho!
Beefsteaks should probably be "squeezed" a bit to release some of the juice before you freeze them. Roma-type tomatoes freeze better because they have less water:meat ratio. I second the cheese, basil, tomato with olive oil salad.......and good crusty bread......slurp! |
| Dad sent home some Beefsteaks with me last week.
They are good and "meaty" (mostly Tomato and hardly any seeds) The biggest difference between Jersey Tomatoes and the ones my Dad grows here is the size. The ones here only grow to about a third of the size they grow to in NJ. 
But they are still yummy. The first thing I did was make a tomato sandwich. Tomato, Cheese, salt, pepper and mayo on toast. MMMMMMMMMMMMM  |
| A friend of mine gave me a ton of tomatoes so I've been eating fast (James doesn't like them so my mouth is one big canker sore!). The other day, I cut them into thick slices, coated them in a mixture of fat free breadcrumbs and reduced fat parmesan cheese and flash fried them in olive oil. They came out great. I meant to add garlic to the pan but forgot but I think that would make it even better. |
| Zuccini Caserole 2 large zuchinis, sliced 2 large tomatoes , peeled and diced 1 medium onion thinly sliced 3 cloves garlic crushed (or more if you like garlic) 1 small can tomato sauce 1 1/2 tble. oregano (crush in your hands to release flavor) 2 tsps grated parmesian cheese Shredded mozerella cheese. saute in zuchini, onion and garlic until tender. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt and pepper to taste, oregano and parmesian cheese. Let simmer for about 15 minute. Cover with mozerella cheese, bake at 350 for about 20 - 30 minutes, until melted and golden on top. Its wonderful, and even better the next day! |
| Oh yea! Throw a bay leaf in while its cooking! (I almost forgot!) :oops: |
| My mouth is growing a canker sore just reading this thread!
I just love a good tomato. Haven't had one in a looooong time. I grew tomatoes here one year. They were a modern hybrid, maybe beefsteak, I don't recall. Anyway, I let a few of them stay in the patch after the season; either they were rotted or damaged in some way. Big Mistake!!! I had tomato plants everywhere all with badly mis-shapen tomatoes (remember, it was a hybrid). It took 2 or 3 years to get rid of them all. |
