Decadent Tomato Recipes From FoodGawker
By Vanessa Richins
I am a very visual person.
Like many of you, I get a gleam in my eyes when a new catalog comes in the mail because I have been given a new treat.
The vibrant colors and shapes just pop off the page and keep me riveted.
I felt the same way when I discovered FoodGawker. It’s a website where people can submit their recipes to their directory. The page appears as row after row of luscious foods.
I decided to see what they had listed for tomatoes. Here are some of the recipes I suggest you try based on their picture :
Sun-Dried Tomato, Basil, and Parmesan Muffins
I think most of us think of muffins as sweet, but these will prove that savory is just as good. Sun-dried tomatoes are from heaven, as well as Parmesan cheese. Match it with basil and it’s perfection.
This is basically an upscale ketchup with only 5 ingredients. This site featured an interesting way to plate a meal - artfully drop the sauce around the plate, and garnish with tomato blossoms.
Black Bean Quinoa Salad with Cherry Tomatoes
Quinoa is a healthy grain that is packed full of protein and nutrients. Pair with cherry tomatoes and black beans for a nutritious supper.
Who would have ever thought that one use for those green tomatoes you pick before a frost could be a chocolate cake!
Take a trip over to FoodGawker. What tomato recipes do you want to try?
