I discovered these supreme roasted stewed tomatoes from America’s Test Kitchen. Take some time, but they are wonderful. There were no leftovers and only 2 of us.
Note: I baked them in a foil-lined 8” baking pan, then transferred all the contents to a medium saute pan to reduce the sauce. I used 9 medium tomatoes and kept everything else the same. I made sure to stuff them with the sugar/salt/pepper mixture and then distributed the rest of the seasoning on top, followed by the butter. I used Kosher salt and it was fine. I would use less if using table salt. I used ground black pepper. I think a cayenne would work, too. I used salted butter.
8 large tomatoes, peeled and cored
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Instructions
1. PREP TOMATOES Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange tomatoes in large ovensafe skillet, cored side up. Sprinkle with brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Dot with butter.
2. BAKE TOMATOES Bake until tomatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 1 hour, basting with juices every 15 minutes.
3. FINISH ON STOVETOP Transfer skillet to stovetop. Simmer over medium-low heat, basting every 5 minutes, until sauce is thick and syrupy, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve.
Now is the time to eat out---support Chick-Fil-a in its courage to defend traditional marriage.
No less a sophisticate than Esquire Mag named Chick-fil-a one of the nation's best sandwiches.
ESQUIRE WROTE You can get a chicken sandwich anywhere, which may explain your low expectations. Boneless breast. Bun. Blah. But down south, there lives an eye-opener.
A come-to-Jesus sandwich.
The Chick-fil-A. Seasoned, breaded breast served on a toasted buttered bun with dill-pickle slices. No mayo. No sauce at all. Deceptively simple, yet transcendent. The hook is the breading: spicy, with an intoxicating crunch. The meat is always juicy, never chewy. The bun is like lingerie -- there, but not, providing delicious support without obscuring the main flavor. The first bite changes everything you think you know about chicken. And about the need for condiments. --Allison Glock
