"Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes

What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things that money can't buy

That's true love and home grown tomatoes."
Guy Clark, Songwriter

The refrigerator light goes on...

This dressing is simple, fast and easy. Roasting the tomatoes gives them a lovely umami flavor that's also nice and sweet. Using the smaller tomatoes will give you a good tomato flavor year ‘round that you can't get from the awful things that grocery stores sell as tomatoes in the winter months.


 

Roasted Tomato Dressing

Servings: 4 | Serving size: 3 Tbsp. (Makes about 3/4 cup)

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can be multiplied by 2.

This dressing keeps well tightly covered in the refrigerator for about 3 days.

6 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp flat leaf parsley

Place the tomatoes in a medium pan and place the pan in the preheated oven. Roast for about 15 - 20 minutes. Shake the pan about three or four times. The outside of the tomatoes should be slightly browned in spots. Do not roast so long that the tomatoes burst open. If one or two do, it's time to take the pan from the oven.

Place the roasted tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and parsley in a mini-chopper or blender (a stick blender will work too).

Process until smooth and then chill for at least an hour.

This goes especially good over spicier greens like arugula (rocket) or watercress.
