Herb Roasted Tomatoes Food

GARLIC AND HERB TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold all the tomatoes in one layer. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to loose their firm round shape. Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped basil and parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.

AWESOME ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the tomato halves in a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, add the garlic, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes and toss to coat. Arrange them on a baking sheet cut-side up and roast for 30 minutes.
• For the herb drizzle: Meanwhile, add the basil, olive oil, oregano, capers, lemon juice and some salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Arrange the roasted tomatoes on a platter and top with some of the herb drizzle. Garnish with fresh basil and oregano leaves.

HERB-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MELTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pulse the onion, parsley, cilantro, tarragon, 2 tablespoons dill, the walnuts and garlic in a food processor. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste; pulse until smooth.
• Stir half of the herb paste with the yogurt in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate.
• Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Loosen the skin with your fingers; rub some of the remaining herb paste under the skin and the rest on the outside of the bird. Truss the chicken. Place in a roasting pan; roast until the skin turns golden, about 30 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees. Toss the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Baste the chicken with the drippings and add the tomatoes, cut-side down, to the pan. Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 155 degrees, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper; let the chicken rest 10 minutes before carving.
• Arrange the chicken and tomatoes on a platter; sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons dill. Serve with the yogurt sauce.

ROASTED TOMATOES WITH GARLIC, GORGONZOLA AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a teaspoon or grapefruit spoon, remove the seeds from the tomatoes. Place the tomato halves, cut side down, on paper towels to drain, about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, gently toss the drained tomato halves in the oil mixture until coated. Marinate the tomatoes for 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs and Gorgonzola cheese.
• Place the marinated tomato halves, cut side up, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Fill each tomato half with the bread crumb filling. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until slightly softened and the underside of the tomatoes are brown.
• Arrange the cooked tomatoes on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

HERB ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• In a large bowl, mix together the herbs, garlic, pepper, salt and olive oil. Add halved tomatoes and toss well. Arrange the seasoned tomatoes, flesh side up, on a half sheet tray lined with parchment. Sprinkle liberally with the Parmesan. Put under the broiler until the cheese is browned and melted, and the tomatoes have caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
