Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pecans
6 to 8 cups mixed greens
1 ripe pear, such as D'anjou, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon country Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
One 8-ounce log goat cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • For the salad: Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a large skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
  • For the vinaigrette: Whisk together the champagne vinegar, orange juice, honey, Dijon and shallot in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil; season with some salt and pepper.
  • For the goat cheese croutons: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Slice the goat cheese into 8 equal rounds. Add to 3 shallow dishes, the flour, egg and panko. Coat each goat cheese round with flour, then egg and then panko, shaking off excess, and fry until golden on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined rack or plate.
  • To assemble the salad, toss the greens, pear, pecans and tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with some vinaigrette and gently toss to fully combine. Divide the salad among 4 salad plates, top each with 2 goat cheese croutons, and serve.

PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATOES AND GOAT CHEESE



Pasta With Fresh Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

This pasta's sauce comes together using the same trifecta found in lemon-ricotta pasta: a juicy fruit, a creamy cheese and a salty cheese. This recipe makes good use of those summer tomatoes with juices just barely contained by their thin skins. The creamy cheese is goat cheese, whose tang balances the sweetness of the tomatoes. Parmesan adds salty depth, while herbs and red-pepper flakes complete the dish. For a more filling pasta, feel free to add shrimp, corn or green beans to the boiling pasta in the last few minutes of cooking.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
2 pounds very ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more as needed
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated, plus more as needed
1 pound fusilli or another spiral pasta
1 (4-ounce) log goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, thyme, red-pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash with a fork or potato masher until tomatoes are juicy. Stir in the Parmesan. Set aside while the pasta cooks, or up to 2 hours at room temperature.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • To the bowl of tomatoes, add the goat cheese and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water. Stir until the cheese is mostly melted. Add the pasta and stir vigorously until the noodles are well coated. Add more pasta water as needed until the sauce coats the noodles. Season to taste with additional Parmesan and red-pepper flakes.

TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE TART



Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart image

The tomato tarts and quiches I've been eating in Provence are delightful. Spreading mustard on the crust before you top it with tomatoes is a new idea that makes perfect sense to me, as mustard is such a perfect condiment for tomatoes.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 yeasted olive oil pastry (1/2 recipe)
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, marjoram, basil or a combination, or 2 to 3 teaspoons fresh thyme or chopped rosemary
2 eggs
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 10-inch tart pan and line it with the pastry. Keep in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
  • Brush the mustard over the bottom of the dough. Slice the tomatoes and arrange over the mustard in concentric circles, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the herbs.
  • Beat together the eggs and goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the tomatoes. Drizzle on the olive oil. Place in the oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is nicely browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

  • Add some crunch: Toasted walnuts, almonds, or croutons add a nice crunch to the salad. You could also add some fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano.
  • Make a dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need to bring all the flavors of the salad together. You can also use a store-bought dressing if you're short on time.
