Tomato Tutorial

When the summer starts waning, but tomatoes are still bursting our of boxes at the farmers market, and we’ve tired of caprese salad, and sliced tomato sandwiches, I fire up the oven and roast them. There really are no hard and fast rules to this, but here’s what I’ve found to work. Gather tomatoes.  I often ask for “seconds” (imperfect tomatoes) at the farmers market, which they’ll gladly unload for next to nothing. These are perfect for roasting.
