The time of year is approaching for amazing tomatoes. I love tomatoes more than anything, and am collecting lots of recipes to highlight their wonderful goodness.

Personally, I've got a day old loaf of some very high quality ciabatta, and can't wait to make some tomato panzanella.

    I love toast with a bit of avocado and fresh sliced tomatoes on top with a sprinkle of salt. The tomatoes make a good snack great.

    Love this recipe, but I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned when in season. Just chop fresh tomatoes and roast with the olive oil. I also cut down on the oil.

    ROASTED TOMATO SOUP

    Ingredients

    1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
    3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1 stalk celery, diced
    1 small carrot, diced
    1 yellow onion, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 cup chicken broth
    1 bay leaf
    2 tablespoons butter
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
    1/2 cup heavy cream, optional

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

    Strain the chopped canned tomatoes, reserving the juices, and spread onto a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, to taste, drizzle with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and roast until caramelized, about 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat remaining olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the celery, carrot, onion and garlic, cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the roasted chopped canned tomatoes, reserved tomato juices, chicken broth, bay leaf and butter. Simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add basil and cream, if using. Puree with a hand held immersion blender until smooth.

    Gazpacho: two or three nice-sized tomatoes. About 1/4 peeled cucumber. About 1/4 onion. About 1/2 bell pepper. One clove of garlic. Throw it all in a blender. Add about 1/4 cup nice olive oil. Water to loosen it up. I like to add vinegar to taste when serving, but you can add it now, too. Put mixture in fridge and enjoy at leisure.

    If you chop all this up into tiny pieces instead of blending it, you have another Spanish dish called pipiranas.

    Another Spanish dish: pan con tomate (Bread with tomato): toast up some nice bread, and rough-grate a tomato into a bowl. While it's still warm, rub it with a garlic clove. Spread some grated tomato on top. Add some sea salt, if you like.

    Or, what was my Andalucian father's all-time favorite way: sliced tomato on a plate, with a slight scattering of salt and pepper. Done.

    This tomato caper sauce is so simple, but it tastes like it came from a restaurant.

    I like to cut up a cucumber, tomato and a little red onion. Mix in a little olive oil, lemon juice and pepper for a salad.

    I love tomatoes fresh out of the garden. The best is a tomato sandwich---sliced tomatoes, a little mayo, on bread. Yum!!!! I also like just fresh slicked tomatoes with mayo, a little salt and pepper. I can make a meal off of them.

    YES!

    I also like to take just a bit of butter in a pan, slice tomatoes in half, and cook them cut side down. Medium low sort of heat. Just so the outside carmerlizes & the inside starts to get soft. I could just eat them with a bit of salt or they go great with eggs.

    This afternoon, I had a tomato, combined with steamed broccoli slaw and onion. Mixed it up with some whole wheat pasta, some watercress, and 2 tablespoons of light honey-Dijon dressing. The tomato was nicely firm, and I sliced it in the salad bowl, so no juice got away from me.

    On a slice of dry toast add an ample slice of tomato. On top of the tomato some freshly grated Parmesan and place under the broiler just to melt. Delicious!

    I like tomato salad made with finely chopped tomatoes, onions, green chilies, salt and mustard oil. We bangladeshis love it.
