Tomato season has officially started! It's been just over a week that we have 4-5 tomatoes a day. That means if we don't pick or eat tomatoes for one day we have 8-10 to contend with. This morning, however I picked 21 tomatoes! Had it been that long that I had looked into our little greenhouse?! Or maybe the past week as just the teaser!
One day last week, we had collected about 10 tomatoes and I decided it was a good a time as any to make a pizza topped with tomatoes, basil,arugula and spinach from our garden.
And it was hard work! People say pizza dough is easy, but they lie. I could have made two loaves of bread in the time and energy I used (in fact I was a bit lazy, as i didn't do as good a knead as I should have, but it was hot, and it's pizza - c'mon!). Well now I know for next time. there will be another pizza next week using different dough... but all in all...It was delicious!! And looks pretty... but there is so much to learn! And whoever comes to our house next week is going to get a treat. : )
The next day was pasta arabiatta (chili-garlic tomato sauce). Sorry, no pictures - we were too hungry.
The day after that tomatoes stuffed with breadcrumbs, almond slices, garlic, and a bunch of parsley, to go with lamb chops and mint sauce.
Here are some more pictures:
