As a contrast to
Nutty's thread...
... what are you doing with all your tomatoes?
Today I made soup:
Collected the ingredients from allotment
The potato wouldn't fit in the colander
Peeled the tomatoos by plunging into boiling water for a minute then into cold.
Chopped potato & onion, crushed garlic clove, de-seeded and halved chilli.
In my biggest saucepan, I sweated off onion, garlic and chilli in olive oil
Removed garlic (I don't like it strong) and added potato for a minute.
Added veg stock to cook potato while I peeled the toms
Added tomatoes, some herbs (Didn't have any fresh Basil
) and a squidge of tomato puree to give moar colour.
About half an hour's simmering later, I fished out the chilli and
most of the herbs, blitzed it until most of the lumps disappeared and seasoned it with salt & pepper.
Result: Tasty tomato soup for dinner
With a few litres more for the freezer.
All the fresh ingredients grown by me.
