  • Roasted Tomatoes: this is a play on the above recipe. I make a big batch each week and eat it on everything.

    Roasted Tomatoes Recipe

    Mix chopped paste tomatoes (1 quart), garlic (2 cloves), basil (1/2 bunch), olive oil (1/4 cup), salt and pepper (to taste). Place on a Cookie sheet and bake at 200 all overnight. These tomatoes may be stored in a zip lock bag in your refrigerator for 6 months! If you chop it all small enough you can freeze it too.

  • B & H Salsa

    3 white onions with greens, 3 lb heirloom tomatoes, 6 hot peppers, 3 bell peppers, 12 cloves garlic.

    Grill all of these ingredients as is until charred. Place everything in a food processor and blend until smooth. Boil down in a stock pot until desired consistency (about 3 hours). Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Add 2 tbspn honey. While this is cooking down blend 3 bunches of cilantro (from Rosie at market) with the juice of two limes. When salsa is at desired consistency add the cilantro - lime mixture and serve.

Thank you all so much and have a great week,
Erica
