Help with cooking. Easy recipes. Fresh Tomatoes.?

Question

We have fresh tomatoes in our garden and they are growing and coming in fast. I am 12 and allowed to use the oven, microwave, stove, etc. I have a dream of opening up my own restaurant when I get older. I would like people to help with this. We can only use common household kitchen items. They must be fast. A maximum of 1 hour (not counting preparation). I want some specific play-by-plays on how to make these food. They don't have to use tomatoes but we do have them. I will give best answer to whoever gives a good name for a restaurant that serves almost everything, at least 2 recipes, and a side dish (vegetables; not cooked; maybe bread). I don't want any spaghetti or pasta sauce because i have that recipe. I would like a salsa recipe but that just a suggestion. If you only have 1 or 2 recipes but they are really good then you might get best answer. i love to cook so please help. I need some recipes.

Suggestions:

♥salsa

♥ceviche

♥vegetable salads (no mayo)

♥any fruit or vegetable drinks (pref. fruit; possibly tomato)

Thanks and I hope I get some good answers.

Answer 1

1.Saute garlic, then add onions.

2. Put fresh and sliced tomatoes. that's it!!!

You can serve this with fried fish..

Answer 2

My very, very favorite tomato dish - Caprese salad. I ate it in Rome every day!

Lay some fresh basil leaves on a plate (do you have that in your garden too?)

Slice the tomatoes (wash them first duh)

Top each slice with a slice of fresh mozzarella (the kind from the deli, not the chunk in the regular refrigerated section)

Drizzle with really good EVOO

Drizzle with really good balsamic vinegar

sprinkle with a bit of salt

crack pepper on top

This is awesome as a lunch or as a salad dish for a party. It really shows off fresh tomatoes.

Answer 3

Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

3 lbs. ripe plum tomatoes, cut in half

¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp.s good olive oil

1 Tbsp. kosher salt

1 ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)

6 cloves, garlic minced

2 Tbsp.s unsalted butter

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1 (28 oz.) can plum tomatoes, with their juice

4 cups fresh basil leaves, packed

1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves

1 quart chicken stock or water

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss together the tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the tomatoes in 1 layer on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes.

In an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic with 2 Tbsp.s of olive oil, the butter, and red pepper flakes for 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Add the canned tomatoes, basil, thyme, and chicken stock. Add the oven-roasted tomatoes, including the liquid on the baking sheet. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes. Pass through a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade. Taste for seasonings. Serve hot or cold.
