June 30, 2022 at 6:00 a.m.“A world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins.” Laurie Colwin, Home Cooking One of the best things about summer is the joy of eating a delicious juicy tomato picked fresh off the vine and delivered to your farmers’ market the same day.
There are over 10,000 known varieties of tomatoes, each with a slightly different taste, size, and even texture. There’s a tomato variety for every culinary need. Beefsteaks are large, juicy, and great for slicing on sandwiches. Romas hold up well sauces and salsas. Sweet little cherry tomatoes are small enough to pop in your mouth for a snack or roast on a sheet pan till they pop with flavor. Fragrance is a good indicator of a good tomato than color. Use your nose and smell the stem end.
Chop the tomatoes, garlic, and an onion, ground chili pepper, some cilantro, and lime juice and you have a savory homemade salsa. “Zoodle” some zucchini, toss with olive oil and halved cherry tomatoes for a light meal. Or toss with cooked pasta. Add a slice of beefsteak tomato to your grilled cheese or bacon, lettuce, avocado sandwiches. Any sandwich is better with a slab of summer tomato!
