My garden is abundant right now... Giving me her bounty, so much so, that's it hard to keep up sometimes with as much traveling I have been doing this summer. I needed to dead-head the basil because it was starting to bolt and I gathered up a bowlful of golden Pear tomatoes before I left for my Alaska trip.

Blend in a food processor drizzling EVOO in last while processor runs.
Jar or freeze.
Roasted Golden Pear Tomatoes
2 Cups fresh golden pear tomatoes

3 tablespoons of EVOO I used O Olive Oil's Meyer Lemon
Cut tomatoes in half. add olive oil and spices and roast @ 350 till tender and sweet!

Sounds and looks yummy - thanks for sharing the recipe. No garden here, but with this heat and lack of rain, one probably would not do well right now. My flowers are pitiful looking.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend and stay cool.
YOur pesto and pear tomatoes not only look delicious I think they could be very versatile! Appetizers, lunches and even on salads. Wouldn't this taste fabulous over a nice grilled fish! This is a keeper recipe! I have tons of pear tomatoes almost ready in my garden now!!! I can't wait to try your recipes.
