Ingredient Spotlight: Heirloom Tomatoes

If you are like me, you can't get enough of this summer's bumper crop of heirloom tomatoes. I finally got "Mr. Shop This"on board for paying their hefty price tag. We both agree, they are so worth the up-charge over your garden variety tomato. This recipe roundup not only highlights the heirlooms, it brings out their extraordinary flavor in unexpected ways.

Heirloom Tomato and Basil Frittata
What a visually stunning dish! With a generous amount of gruyere, it will be extra delicious, too. 

Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad
Yes please! The perfect Summer Salad. The tomatoes are marinated, and that is how the magic happens. Yum.

Farmers Market Hummus
You may remember that I make my own hummus weekly. So much better than store bought. I have not tried to add heirloom tomatoes. What a 
fabulous idea!

Heirloom Tomato Beet Salad
I wish that I liked beets, as they are so healthy for you. This recipe is super easy and like summer 
on a plate.

Chilled Heirloom Tomato Soup
Much like gazpacho but the heirloom tomatoes used take this summer classic up several notches!

Heirloom Tomato and Zucchini Galette with Honey + Thyme
Who needs pizza when you can have this? They say that a galette is easy to make because you don't have to be exact in the rolling of the dough.

Tomato & Shrimp Risotto
I try not to eat too many carbs, as in rice or pasta, often. But when I do, risotto is often my choice. Add fresh tomatoes and shrimp, and you have a fabulous feast!

Roasted Stuffed Heirloom Tomatoes
"These roasted stuffed heirloom tomatoes are filled with a goat cheese, creme fraiche, thyme mixture and topped with garlic butter breadcrumbs for a wonderful late summer side dish."

20 Minute Heirloom Tomato Basil Chicken Parmesan Bolognese
This recipe had me at the 20 minute mark. I can guarantee you that it would take me twice that time to create this tasty dish. But it would be so worth it.  I mean how can tomatoes, basil, chicken, parmesan, and mozzarella be bad?

Hot Bacon Caprese Salad With Heirloom Tomatoes
Oh my! This reminds me of a spinach salad I have made with hot bacon dressing. Anyone can make Caprese Salad. Why not elevate yours with this version? It is sure to please.

Mediterranean Prosciutto Buratta Flat Bread
Flat Bread always makes a great appetizer, but this dish looks like a meal to me. It can be made with homemade or store bought pizza dough. The pesto adds the color and authentic taste.

Grilled Peaches with Heirloom Tomatoes and Manchego
I have not thought of mixing peaches with tomatoes, but why not? These peaches have been caramelized by grilling them. This recipe is a balanced blend of sweet, salty, and herby freshness.
