Save👏the👏tomatoes👏. Consider this your annual reminder that you should give those end-of-summer tomatoes the gift of a second life, even if (especially if??) it’s the second week of October.
The ones we have in the store right now are from Tovey, our favorite farmer—if you know, you know that these tomatoes are worth saving. Put them in a Dutch oven, cover with olive oil, and add some tiny onions and dried chiles (arbol for something spicy, New Mexican or guajillo for something sweeter, chipotle for something smokey) and roast at 300 degrees for 2+ hours until shriveled and jammy, maybe even a little golden on the edges. You’ll thank yourself in a few months.
Full instructions on how to save them all according to Alison Roman at the link in our bio.
