Baked Tomatoes!

Posted in Personal, Books at 5:03 pm by Joe Blubaugh

If you ever, ever see Paul Bocuse In Your Kitchen anywhere, you must, must buy it!  It’s a compendium of simple classics from the master of fancy French food.  Stuff you can make at home easily with a basic but decently-equipped kitchen.  I borrowed Kat’s copy, and I’m going to need to go to the library and photocopy a lot before she comes back up here.  There’s a recipe in there called Tomate Provencal that is just the most basic delicious idea I never thought of.  I added a green pepper to the recipe, and I love it:

Baked Vegetable Dinner:

  • 1 tomato
  • 1 green pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Pepper
  • Basil
  • Garlic

Preheat oven to 450 F (240 C) Chop the tomato and pepper in half.  Place them in a baking dish with the tomato cut side up and the pepper cut side down. Sprinkle the basil and garlic atop.  Pepper the veggies lightly.  Drizzle with olive oil and place in oven. Cook for 25 minutes.

So good!
