Ina Garten Roasted Tomatoes
This recipe for roasted tomatoes is from Ina Garten
and appeared in House Beautiful. It's amazing how a few simple ingredients and
high heat can turn a fresh tomato into such a sweet and savory treat.
I had planned to make Ina Garten's meat loaf for a dinner we were having with friends. While looking for her meat loaf recipe, I happened upon this recipe for roasted tomatoes. It looked good so I decided to try it. Our friends really enjoyed them. They were gone in no time and I had two requests for the recipe.
Just a few days later my husband and I visited our favorite farm stand Papa John's, and found beautiful roma (plum) tomatoes. I made a double batch for him and I to enjoy.
This would be a perfect vegetable side dish for any meal, and it went perfectly with the meat loaf. This dish would be perfect for a holiday buffet as it can be served at room temperature.
Please
read my "cook's tips" following the recipe.
INA GARTEN'S ROASTED TOMATOES
Serves 4 to 6
12 plum tomatoes,
halved lengthwise, cores and seeds removed
4 tablespoons good olive oil
1
1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons
sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with the garlic, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
3.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are beginning to caramelize. Serve
warm or at room temperature.
Cooks tips: I think that "less
is more" when it comes to the olive oil, as both times I've made this recipe
I was left with quite a bit of liquid. Next time I make this dish I will use less
olive oil. To reheat them I remove the tomatoes from the liquid and put them on
a piece of aluminum foil on a sheet pan and return them to the oven at 375 degrees
for 10 - 12 minutes until they're hot. They're even better the next day. The original
recipe was barely enough for the 6 we had for dinner (I guess we have very hearty
appetites!) and I wish I'd made a few more.

Sweet & Sour Green Beans
There is nothing that can quite match the taste of farm fresh green beans. Sure, the prep time is a bit longer than if you were opening a can or using a bag out of the freezer, but it's a real treat and one I like to take advantage of since the season only lasts for a few months of the year.
German Green Beans with Pears and Bacon
This is a German green bean recipe attributed to The Art of German Cooking by Betty Wason. It's a wonderful sweet and sour green bean recipe and would be a perfect use for your fresh, ripe, flavorful pears. Remember, the best way to assure any recipe success is using the freshest and best ingredients you can get.

Thanksgiving Dinner
Last Thanksgiving was the first Thanksgiving meal I've ever cooked, at the tender age of 48. I'd always had a parent's house to go to, or a friends house, or had gone to a restaurant/buffet for Thanksgiving with friends. I am now married and between my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and myself we decided that I'd be responsible for Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily there are only eight of us.
