Don't get saucy with me!
I am so excited about our garden this year. The tomatoes and basil coming out of it has been absolutely f'in beautimous.
The rain let up for just a few minutes today and I was able to sneak out to harvest. There is absolutely nothing better than fresh fruits and vegetables straight from the garden. I think in the everyday hustle and bustle, a lot of Americans have lost sight of growing their own food. Even if you just plant a couple of things, you are doing a world of wonderfullness for your body.
This is a quick recipe that packs some delicious taste. Easy, easy, easy.
Here's what you need (the amounts are totally on you a 2 to 1 ratio of tomatoes to basil):
Cherry or grape tomatoes (preferably from your garden)
a handful or so of fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Wash your tomatoes and place in an oven safe baking dish.
Add fresh basil after giving it a quick wash (yes, this is all from our garden).
Add thick Kosher salt and pepper to taste, then, drizzle with 1-2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Toss to coat. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Use as a side dish, on pizza (like we did tonight), or whatever you feel like. They taste great by themselves, but also love to party with others.
Soon I will have tomatoes,my basil is knee high, and the !olive oil is ready
