What can I do with a full box of tomatoes?


Friend of my MIL brought this large box of tomatoes. We don’t really eat tomatoes. I know this can make a few jars of delicious salsa. Anything else?

    Those look like Roma tomatoes. Make some marinara! Great for pasta, add to some rice for a little kick, and makes the best pizza sauce too.

    Salsa or pasta sauce.

    Get a bunch of basil, boil them down with some salt and olive oil, Parmesan (or Parmesan rinds) blend it so it’s nice and smooth, jar it or freeze it.

    Tomatoes are probably the most commonly used thing in cooking. Having a bunch of tomatoes is a very common thing. Thank you for letting me know that it is time for me to block you.

    Tomato sauce only requires water bath canning.. very simple..

    Or make a shit ton of salsa and throw a party for for yourself.. and enjoy!!! 😉

    A lot of fresh pasta sauce and store it in quart Ziploc bags and freeze it. Lay the bags flat and you’ll have enough pasta sauce for half a year. Fresh salsa is always wonderful as well and can be easily frozen.

    Gazpacho is also great for this time of year!

    If you’re feeling adventurous, chef John did a tomato galette which was amazing. I made it twice and it didn’t disappoint.

    Well those are obviously tomatoes, not tomatoes.

    There’s a wonderful chef on insta called 5oclockapron, Claire Thomson is her name, last year I think she partnered with a tomato producer and wrote a cook book based around tomatoes.

    She regularly shares recipes on there which should hopefully give you some ideas.

    Grate them in a box grater in a large bowl for tomato sauce (discard the skins)

    make tomato sauce/bisque and freeze what you don’t use. Make some meatball subs! Was the first thing I thought of.

  36. PLUMP_BULLFROG

    Make white bean tomato soup. It’s delicious

    Roasted tomato soup and freeze it for a rainy day! Nothing better than roasting tomatoes, onion, and garlic together, then blending them with chicken broth, fresh basil, and a bit of cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Incredible!

    omg… i remember my grandma always used to give me tomatoes with mayo, salt, and pepper… such a white people thing to do, but it wasn’t bad! lmao

    Can them. I get a box like that from my local farm stand for $5 when they need to get rid of them and I’m set on tomatoes for sauce for a very long time

    Do you have a freezer? You can freeze tomatoes whole. Wash them, dry, put on cookie sheet or muffin tins, freeze. Then bag when solid. When they thaw the skins just peel off. You can take out how many you need and leave the rest in the freezer.
