Provençal Tomatoes

Labels: { , , }

Recipe adapted from Essen und Trinken

Angie's Recipes 1/7/11 07:18

@JanineIn general, you can substitute one teaspoon of dried herbs for one tablespoon of fresh herbs and vice-versa. So, you don't double the amounts if you want to use the dried one instead.

[Reply]
Carolyn 1/7/11 14:16

Wow, these look good. I have all the makings for them right now, I think I know what's the side for dinner tonight!

Cathy at Wives with Knives 1/7/11 14:37

If that doesn't look like summer I don't know what does. Local tomatoes are a few weeks off but when they hit the market this recipe will be at the top of the list. Bookmarked!!!!

[Reply]

Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen 7/7/11 19:32

I've made tomatoes Provencal all of my married life and I've never thought of using a red pepper in it. I bet it brings a great zing to it. I've also never thought of serving it on salad greens. I will be "borrowing" this terrific idea.

You never fail to amaze me with your ideas, presentations, and photos Angie.
