CHERRY TOMATO FRA DIAVOLO SAUCE, SEAFOOD AND PASTA

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat the EVOO in a pot or skillet with a lid over medium to medium-high heat. Add the garlic, chiles and onions. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Season with salt and stir in the sherry. Cook until reduced by half. Add the tomatoes and oregano, cover and cook until the whole tomatoes burst, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the basil and parsley. Remove from the heat.
• For the pasta: Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta, and season with salt. Pat the seafood dry and sprinkle with salt, pepper and about 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning. Heat the EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seafood and cook until opaque and firm (or heated through for the crab or lobster). Deglaze the pan with the vermouth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
• Meanwhile, cook the linguine until al dente, then drain.
• Toss the linguine with the sauce and fold in the seafood.
• Cook's Notes: Serve the pasta with a green salad dressed with lemon juice and olive oil.
• You can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator; reheat it over medium heat.

BLISTERED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH PARMESAN YOGURT AND TOASTED BREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the broiler.
• Put the tomatoes in a large, cold skillet with the oil, garlic, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook over medium heat until the tomato skins have just burst, about 20 minutes.
• Brush the bread with oil from the skillet and toast under the broiler, turning until golden on both sides, about 1 minute.
• Stir together the yogurt, Parmesan and capers if using. Season with salt and a few grind of pepper.
• Slather the toasts with the Parmesan-yogurt and top with the tomatoes and a few grinds of pepper.

STUFFED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Slice off the top 1/4 inch of each tomato, then scoop out and discard some of the core using a melon baller or small spoon. Cut a thin sliver off the bottom of the tomatoes so they will sit flat. Put the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, then stand them up and press a cube of feta about halfway inside each one. Broil until the cheese is browned and slightly soft, about 2 minutes.
• Mix the olive paste with 1 tablespoon water and dot all over a serving plate. Arrange the broiled tomatoes on the plate; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Scatter the mint on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the tomatoes lightly with olive oil on a sheet pan. Spread them out into one layer and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft.
• Transfer the tomatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with basil leaves and sea salt. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ONE-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
• While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.

STUFFED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• De-stem the tomatoes and hollow them out. My 1/8 teaspoon works the best for me.
• Cut a small slice from the bottom so they sit flat and don't roll away.
• Mix the rest of the ingredients.
• Fill each hollow tomato with tuna mix.
