Family Classic For Summer

 Family recipes and a fresh harvest always make for a delicious meal. This is true for tomatoes provencale. They're made a variety of ways from oven baked to skillet cooked. Anyway they're made , they're just plain tasty, full of so many flavors melded together.

Skillet made ones are a family recipes and one of the first recipes I learned how to make.It;s one of the best ways to use ripe, sliced tomatoes.

I used sliced beefsteaks from the local farmer;'s market. You can use any size but one or two of these slices constitute a whole meal.

Saute them in about three to four tablespoons of light olive oil and a big dollop of butter or in my case I Can't Believe It;s Not Butter. .It;s then topping them with a thick layer of breadcrumbs mixed with oregano.

I used Acme's Signature brand. They're light and produce a good crisp when cooked. You can make your own using steak=le Italian or French bread , pulverized with oregano and rosemary if you want.

Put the butter between the slice before  you add the breadcrumbs.Again I love a thick topping but if you want a thin layer, then sprinkle on a thin layer

Cover the skillet and cook down until the tomatoes look wilted and the breadcrumbs looked soaked with the tomato  juices. This takes about around ten minutes.

I know it; gilding the lily but I had mine with a large hunk of Italian bread.

Tomatoes Provencale are good on their own (especially the breadcrumbs left in the pan) however you can serve with with any meat or fish too for a heartier meal. use smaller tomatoes like the vine ripes if you plan on doing this.

It's tomato harvest time. Make this delicious recipe to enjoy the fruit;'s sweet taste. It;s the perfect summer time meal.
