Harvest Tomato Crumble Recipes

Steps:

• Core and cut tomatoes in half lengthwise.
• Arrange, cut sides up and without touching, on large foil lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Brush with oil, sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Roast in 350°F degree oven until tops are shriveled and bottoms are browned, about 2 hours.
• Arrange tomatoes, overlapping, in 8 inch square glass baking dish.
• (make ahead: Let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 20 minutes cooking time.) In a bowl, stir together, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and flour; drizzle with butter and toss until crumbly.
• Sprinkle over tomatoes.
• Bake in 400°F oven until golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, bay leaves, honey, oregano, 1 tablespoon salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot and cover with water. Stir to combine, cover, and bring to a low boil over medium-high heat. Remove cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions and garlic in the hot oil until the onions are softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked tomatoes to a food mill placed over a bowl and puree in batches, separating the tomato pulp and juice from the tomato skins and seeds. Return the tomato pulp and juice to the stockpot, add the cooked onions and garlic, and cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat until sauce thickens and reduces by about half, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
• Prepare quart jars, rings, and lids by heating them in boiling water in a canning kettle for at least 5 minutes. When the sauce is ready, remove jars and lids and place on dry towel.
• To each jar, add 1 teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons bottled lemon juice. Ladle the hot tomato sauce into jars, leaving 1/2-inch of space at the top of each jar. Wipe jar rims with a clean, damp cloth, place lids onto jars, and screw on rings.
• Place filled jars in the canning kettle. Return water to a simmer, adding more water if needed to cover the jars by at least 1/2 inch. Cover kettle and bring water to a boil. Cook at a steady boil to process the jars until fully sealed, about 45 minutes. Turn off heat and let jars rest 5 minutes before removing and cooling on a clean, dry towel placed on kitchen counter or table. Check that the lids have sealed, and store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Slice larger tomatoes into ½-inch rounds or wedges, and cut smaller tomatoes in half and spread out on a serving platter or individual plates. Season them generously with salt and also black pepper, if you'd like.
• Tear the bread into small, 1-inch pieces, then pulse in a food processor until you have coarse crumbs.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, olives, zest, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, if using. Finely grate the garlic into the bowl then add 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss everything together very well.
• Transfer the bread-crumb mixture to a sheet pan and place on a middle rack in the oven. Toast, stirring two or three times, until the crumbs are golden brown, the olives have shriveled slightly and your kitchen starts to smell a little like a pizzeria, 17 to 23 minutes. Let cool completely.
• To serve, drizzle the tomatoes with the vinegar followed by the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Just before you're ready to serve, sprinkle the bread-crumb mixture over the top.
