I've got five tomatos to use up

[BigToque]

I managed to snag a bunch of fresh tomatoes and I've been eating some good salads pretty much every day. I'm down to my last five.

Any good ideas of something I can make?

Eat them. Interesting how the tomato never took off as a hand-fruit.

Fresh tomatoes? Eat them fresh!

Enjoy them the Korean way:

1. Chill them in fridge
2. Quarter them
3. Dip each slice in sugar and eat them, DELICIOUS.

Enjoy them the Latin way (my Dominican friend showed me this).

1. Chill them in fridge
2. Quarter them
3. Dip each slice in SALT and eat them- beefy, savory, and DELICIOUS.

What a versatile fruit.

Get some onion, cilantro, lime, garlic, jalapenos and some good tortilla chips and make pico de gallo.

They are kind of messy for that unless you cut them up.

OP, you could make some salsa. Salsa is great on eggs. Tomatoes are good with eggs too though. I like poached eggs on toast with tomato.

When life hands you tomatoes, you make salsa.

With salt is awesome.

I like to slice them up and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Maybe some basil leaves as well if you have any. Fresh mozzarella (to make caprese salad) is a good addition as well.

Otherwise one of the easiest ways to use up a lot of tomatoes at once is to make pasta sauce. I slice the tomatoes into wedges, about 8 wedges per tomato, lay them as flat as possible in a pan, add a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and any Italian seasonings you have lying around, cover, and simmer on low-medium heat for about half an hour. To get the timing right I usually begin boiling water for pasta as soon as I've started cooking the tomatoes, and by the time the pasta is done the sauce is done as well. Very fresh tasting, 100000x better than tomato sauce from a jar.

Here's what I do with leftover tomatoes:

Blanch them, remove the skins, then slice into sections. Remove the seeds.

In a couple of tbs of olive oil, saute a small chopped onion, mushrooms, green pepper, and 1 clove of minced garlic for about 5 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes, and add in about 1 tsp of sugar, salt, pepper, and basil.

Simmer for an hour or two, and you have fantastic pasta sauce. Use this as a base and modify it anyway you want.

This thread got me to eat some tomatoes in the fridge. I cut them up, and added black pepper, Italian seasoning, a 6 cheese shredded Italian blend, olive oil, and wine vinegar. It was delicious.

I have this thing where I'm unable to eat raw tomatoes. Not sure why. The fragrance a raw tomatoes puts off/repulses me for some reason. Cooked: no problem.
