To matoes Provencale A New Spin

 One of the best summer dishes is tomatoes Priovencale. This southern French dish is rich with tomatoes and herbs along with crunchy breadcrumbs.  It s a great side but also perfect on its' own. Yet it is time to update e the recipe bit.

My local farmer's market has the best tomatoes.They're beefsteaks , and as large as softballs.The slices are huge and perfect for this dish.

These are cooked in a mix of olive oil and Melt plant butter. They;re arranged in a circular pattern in the skillet.

Add a dab of more butter before scattering on the breadcrumbs. This produces a lively juicy sauce. as the tomatoes cook.
Instead of traditional breadcrumbs I used Stop & Shops Panko Itlaian style kind, Panko crumbs really absorb the mix of butter , oil and tomato juice , which give the wholedish more flavor. Half a cup will do it.
Also a good dose of oregano give it a nice , herbal flavor too that goes well with the tomatoes.
Salt and pepper are also added in with liberal sprinklings. You can add garlic powder too if you want.
Cook with a lid on for ten to  fifteen minutes or until the skins are coming off the tomatoes and the breadcrumbs are moist and brown.

These are the tomatoes fully cooked. . They are done to perfection.

They taste like perfection too. The panko crumbs are perfect for absorbing the juices and the meld of flavors is heavenly. I plan on using panko again for this great recipe.

Tomatoes Provencale is the dish to make for summer. Use panko breadcrumbs for regular ones for a tasty spin on a French classic. They add flavor and crunch to this delicious dish.Tomatoess Provencale, panko crumbs. oregano, simmer, mel
