Uses for tomatoes
By the look of my greenhouse I'm going to have a glut of the damned things in a month or so (yes, I never learn
). So any suggestions for using loads of tomatoes (they're Moneymakers); you can only offload so many onto friends and relatives.Only one restriction. Neither the family, nor anyone we know, are into preserves and chutneys. |

Make a massive stash of decent tomato sauce/passata?
Fry onions/garlic, add chopped tomatoes + fresh basil, season and simmer for half an hour. Freeze portions. |

We had some tomatoes that needed to be used, so I made a salad.
Ingredients: 1 Chicken Fillet 3 Tomatoes 1/2 block of Low Low White Mature Chedder Cheese 1 (full) Red Onion Few leaves of lettuce And a few small spoonfuls of Hellman's Caesar Dressing. I diced up everything apart from the Cheese & Lettuce. I grated the Cheese & I rolled each piece of lettuce up & then cut thick-ish strips of it. I put everything in a plastic container & mixed it all up & had some of it in like-warm bread-rolls. It's so easy to make. The only thing that takes long to cook is the Chicken Fillet. |

Make soups and freeze them?
Have Gazpacho just now since it's summer and warm with basically loads of Tomato, cucumber, chili, onion and some red pepper, a bit of stock and liquidize it. You can get rid of loads of tomatoes in soup, peel them first though because the skin always rolls up really thin and gets stuck in teeth when its cooked! Then you can make and freeze minestrone or just plain tomato soup. |

Along the same vein as other posters, how about just some simple tomato puree? or even ketchup? (or both!) Don't have any recipes though, never managed to produce enough toms to require it (and this year seems no exception!

Watch River Cottage. I think in every series he has come up one way or another to make money on them.

Dice a load up and make a salsa with em, get some big bags of Doritoes, stick on a movie and sit around with the family and enjoy.
Also you could use a few to make some home made curry sauces or pasta sauces. Try a tomatoe and mozzarella salad for a starter one night drizzled with some quality EV Olive Oil and with some basil torn over the top. Or why no buy a plain pizza bases and then make your own sauce, if you've got kids its a great way to get them to enjoy cooking as well as you can all make your own personal pizza toppings. |

Sliced and fried, along with eggs, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding, beans and fried bread.
It's what we up North call a light breakfast.
