So simple but so very, very good! I have wanted to make these for some time but held out until my garden tomatoes were ready. I am gla I did. An excellent treatment for fresh tomatoes! -
We used fresh tomatoes that our neighbor had given us from her garden. This is a great side dish for something nice and different, and very easy to put together. -
This is a great side dish, especially if you love tomatoes! I can't wait to try this with my garden-fresh tomatoes! I did add some sweet onions to this, but that's it! Thanks for sharing. -
This is easy and good. I added a little bit of dried basil, too. I think next time I might keep the tomato pulp and chop it in with the breadcrumb mixture, because although the breadcrumb mix is tasty, it is dry. I will hold on to this recipe and try it again when my garden starts to produce this year's tomato crop -- a dream for now, since the garden is under inches of snow and ice as I type this. Thanks, Recipe Reader, for a really good, classic recipe. -
The only addition I made was some minced onion. A great side dish to just about anything. Super simple and low in fat and calories!
