What To Do With All These Tomatoes??

We are just being bombarded with cherry tomatoes.  We can't eat them as fast as they are ripening.   Of course we give some away to friends and family and eat them in our salad every night for dinner but it's seems like they are growing exponentially.

Here are two of my favorite recipes that incorporate cherry tomatoes.

First is Sautéed Squash and Tomato with Basil
            Olive Oil
             1 Yellow Squash (preferably from your garden) quartered
             A handful of cherry tomatoes (again from your garden) cut in half
             Chopped fresh basil (hopefully from your garden) or dried basil works fine
     
            1.  Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.  Once heated add the squash.  Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until the squash is soft.  
            2.  Then add the halved tomatoes to the pan.  Continue sautéing the mixture for about 2 minutes.
            3.  Before taking it off the heat add the basil.  Once the basil is incorporated into the mixture you can remove it from the heat and serve.    

Another good recipe is Balsamic String Beans with Cherry Tomatoes
             Fresh Green Beans (12 oz to a pound from your garden if you have them)
             1 tablespoon minced garlic
             1 cup cherry tomatoes (from your garden) halved
             2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
             2 tablespoons olive oil

           
             1. Cook string beans.  Then add garlic, tomatoes, vinegar and olive oil.  Mix well and refrigerate.
