8 (about 2 pounds) ripe, round tomatoes, cored and halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 cloves garlic, peeled

A handful fresh, flat-leaf parsley, finely minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

(Unless the tomatoes are exceptionally watery, do not seed or drain them; they will better hold their shape and the natural juices will mingle nicely with the garlic and herbs.) Season generously with salt and pepper. Slice the garlic into thin chips and sprinkle over the tomatoes. Combine the bread crumbs and parsley, and scatter the mixture over the tomatoes. Drizzle them with oil.
  • Bake, uncovered, for one hour, or until the tomatoes are soft, browned and sizzling. Serve immediately.

TOMATOES PROVENCAL



Tomatoes Provencal image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, side dish

Time 14m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tomatoes, very ripe, about 2 1/2 pounds
1 cup lightly packed parsley leaves
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
4 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Remove and discard stems from the tomatoes and cut in half crosswise (parallel to stem end). Chop the parsley and garlic together to make persillade. There should be 1/2 cup.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • In each of two heavy skillets heat about 1 tablespoon of the oil until very hot. Put the tomatoes cut side down in the skillets and cook over high heat about 2 minutes, covered, until the tomatoes soften slightly. Arrange the tomatoes cut side up in a gratin dish suitable for serving. Sprinkle with the pepper and salt.
  • To the drippings in the pan add the remainder of the oil and the persillade. Mix 10 to 15 seconds to cook slightly; divide equally and spread on top of the tomatoes. Put the tomatoes in the warm oven for a few minutes before serving. If the tomatoes must wait 30 minutes or more before being served, saute as directed and keep warm in a 180-degree oven, but don't add the persillade until serving time.

JULIA CHILD'S PROVENçALE TOMATO SAUCE



Julia Child's Provençale Tomato Sauce image

This is an under-the-radar basic from Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," featured in a New York Times article about readers' favorite Child recipes. It is a tomato sauce with onions, garlic and basil, raised high with a perfumed whiff of orange peel and coriander seed. Make it when the farmers' market is overflowing with good tomatoes, freeze it in plastic bags, and use it until there is no more. It is a combination of two things Mrs. Child loved: good technique and fresh Provençal flavors. It is a great recipe.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield About 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup finely minced yellow onions
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
5 to 6 pounds ripe tomatoes, quartered
1/8 teaspoon sugar, plus more to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced or put through a press
A large herb bouquet: 8 sprigs parsley, 1 bay leaf and 4 sprigs thyme, all tied in cheesecloth
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, oregano, marjoram or savory
Large pinch saffron threads
1 dozen coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1 2-inch piece dried orange peel (or 1/2 teaspoon granules)
2 to 3 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and cook slowly for about 10 minutes, until tender but not browned. Sprinkle on the flour and cook slowly for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally; do not brown.
  • Meanwhile, fit a food processor with the coarse grating blade. Working in batches to avoid overfilling the machine, push the tomatoes through the feed tube to make a coarse purée.
  • Stir the tomatoes, sugar, garlic, herb bouquet, fennel, basil, saffron, coriander, orange peel and 1 teaspoon salt into the pot. Cover and cook slowly for 10 minutes, so the tomatoes will render more of their juice. Then uncover and simmer for about an hour, until thick. The sauce is done when it tastes thoroughly cooked and is thick enough to form a mass in the spoon. Remove herb bouquet and taste. Season with salt, pepper, sugar and tomato paste, and simmer two minutes more. The sauce may be used immediately, refrigerated or frozen for up to 6 months.

TOMATES à LA PROVENçALE



Tomates à la Provençale image

Nothing tastes so good to me as the intense flavor of a fresh tomato, picked at the height of summer, cooked down and seasoned with fresh parsley, garlic, and olive oil. This recipe exemplifies southern-French vegetable cooking at its best. I have served these tomatoes as an accompaniment to roast lamb (see page 234) or, in the summer, as a scrumptious first course. They are also great with lox, bagels, and cream cheese to break the fast of Yom Kippur.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ripe but firm tomatoes (beefsteak are great for this), cored and cut in half horizontally
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar
5 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Set a strainer in a bowl, and carefully squeeze the juice and the seeds out of the tomatoes, letting the juice drop into the bowl and reserving it. Discard the seeds. Season the cut sides of the tomatoes with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. When very hot and beginning to smoke, carefully place the tomatoes, skin side down, in the oil. You may have to do this in batches so as not to crowd the pan. The tomatoes should not be touching. Sear until the skin starts to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the sugar over the cut sides, and flip, continuing to cook over high heat. When the tomatoes are caramelized and beginning to turn very dark, remove to a serving plate, and sprinkle the garlic and parsley over the top.
  • Pour the reserved tomato juice into the pan, and reduce by half. Pour the reduced juice over the tomatoes, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is essential for making the best tomates à la provençale. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, and oregano, add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the tomatoes, be sure to leave some space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the tomatoes over medium heat. This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Season the tomatoes to taste. Once the tomatoes are cooked, taste them and add salt and pepper as needed.

Conclusion:

Tomates à la provençale is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. If you are looking for a flavorful and healthy dish that is sure to impress your guests, then you should definitely try tomates à la provençale.
