If you grow your own tomatoes or simply snag them from your local grocer or farmer’s market, you know that our love affair is almost over. Soon it will be fall and we’ll be rolling around like dogs in pumpkin puree instead. So we need to celebrate the summer fruit veggie fruit(?) that is… the luscious tomato.

Here are three of my favorite easy tomato recipes to use up your summer supply. Let’s get cooking…

Mango salsa pasta salad

Mango salsa pasta salad

Mangoes are such a good fruit and make an epic salsa. So I thought I’d take the flavors of mango salsa (mangoes, onions, tomatoes, etc.) and translate it into a pasta salad. Thus we’ve got mango salsa pasta salad. Oh, it’s good, it’s versatile, it’s vegan, and it’s so so easy. And remember: tomatoes aren’t the only produce to leave town in the fall. Mangoes are summer fruits, too!

This super easy tomato tart uses ready-to-bake puff pastry and a yummy herbed cream cheese spread as the base for tons of heirloom tomatoes. Those big, brown kumatos are so tasty.

Caprese stuffed portobellos with brown butter

Caprese stuffed portobellos with brown butter

This east tomato recipe differs in that it’s HOT instead of cool. But it takes advantage of those tomatoes just as well. A little brown butter adds an even richer flavor. All you have to do to create these caprese stuffed portobellos is fill the mushrooms, stick them under the broiler, and devour.

  2. I love tomatoes so much that every year at the beginning of summer i wonder how i managed again to survive the whole winter without…
    I don’t get to grow my own but the farmers’ market is a 3 minute walk from my place.
    I used to make several kilos into sauce, this year i only made 8 kilos but it’s always a treat to open a jar during winter 🙂
