Caramelized Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange tomatoes in a baking dish.
• Season with salt and pepper, then dot with butter.
• Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes.
• Mix diced veggies with brown sugar and cook over low heat in a medium pan, stirring, for about 10 minutes.
• Make a paste of flour, 1 tsp salt, lemon juice, and a small amount of water (enough to make a paste).
• Stir into the veggie mixture and cook until thick and smooth.
• Pour over baked tomatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle the garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper over the tomatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are concentrated and beginning to caramelize. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Make the aioli: Blend the mayonnaise, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, fresh herbs and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a mini food processor or blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the roasted tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the tomatoes dry with paper towels and arrange on the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the dried basil, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast until the tomatoes start caramelizing, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the caramelized onions: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sugar and toss to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 20 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, until browned and caramelized, 15 to 20 more minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Make the burgers: Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Put the beef and sausage in a large bowl and combine with your hands. Form four 3/4-inch-thick patties; season with salt and pepper. Grill the burgers until the edges begin browning, 3 to 5 minutes, then flip and top each patty with a slice of cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the burgers are done, 3 to 4 more minutes for medium.
• Lightly toast the buns on the grill. Spread the aioli on the top and bottom buns. Sandwich with the burgers, roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions and arugula.

• In a bowl, combine the diced pears, pineapple and apples. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, and scrape the contents of the bean into the bowl. Add the pistachio nuts, walnuts and almonds.
• Pour one-third cup of sugar into a saute pan and add a tablespoon of water. Place over high heat, and allow the sugar to melt for about a minute; then, add the fruit-and-nut mixture. Cook for five to seven minutes, until the fruits soften slightly. Remove from the heat.
• Add the lemon and orange zests, the reserved tomato pulp, grated ginger, cloves, cinnamon, anise and mint leaves. Mix well, fill the tomatoes and top with their "hats."
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Place 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water in an oven-proof casserole just large enough to hold the tomatoes side by side. Over high heat, caramelize the sugar to a golden brown. Add the orange juice and bring to a boil, making sure all of the sugar has melted. Boil until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place the tomatoes in the casserole. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes; then, remove from oven. As the tomatoes cool, baste them frequently with the caramel-orange sauce.
• Serve the tomatoes while still slightly warm. Serve two on a plate in a pool of caramel-orange sauce with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
