20 years and he is not about to stop just because he has been ordered by his doctor to steer clear of them. That means I've been the lucky recipient of many handfuls like this specimen here.All of a sudden, I'm thinking of dishes that I could make with fresh tomatoes, like:
SAFFRON RICE WITH TOMATOES AND FRESH OREGANO
Pinch of saffron
2 Tbsp. salt, plus more for seasoning
1 1/2 c. jasmine rice
2 large or 3 regular-sized roma tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4 -in. dice
(about 1 cup)
Freshly ground pepper
6 sprigs fresh oregano, leaved piced from stem
1. Fill a med. saucepan w/cold water. Add saffron and 2 Tbsp. salt. Bring water to a boil. Stir in rice, ad cook until rice is tender, 12-14 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain well.
2. Place rice in serving bowl. add butter and tomatoes, and toss very gently. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh oregano. Serves 4
Of course, the Roma tomatoes would be substituted. The recipe is from a Martha Stewart Magazine years ago and
it has been posted earlier in this blog...
Wow, I never knew how much I take tomatoes for granted until this salmonella outbreak occurred.
