LOoking for ideas on what to do w abundance of tomatoes...

We've picked over 100 so far and they are huge. We drop in boiling water ~ 30 sec, cool in cold water, peel slice and puree in the vita mix blender. Pour 3.5 cups per quart freezer bags and freeze. We use for various things during the year. Puree some up and make a bloody mary.

Wife made a tomato pie with melted cheese on top that was good.

BLTs... we can eat them for lunch every day.
But my tomatoes are from seed and won't be ripe till next month.

--Gazpacho (I just take some of everything ripe in the garden and puree: green peppers, cucumbers, herbs, tomatoes, and a handful of sliced almonds for body. A drizzle of EVOO to finish, once it is portioned).
--tomato tart: savory pastry crust, par-baked, then topped w/goat cheese, cracked pepper, and an overlapping layer of sliced tomatoes
--shrimp creole
--shrimp/corn/tomato soup; make a shrimp stock from heads & shells, cut fresh corn off the cob, make a couple tbs light roux, then add trinity, garlic, herbs, etc, cook til soft. add stock, peeled/chopped tomatoes, simmer for 15-20 minutes, then add corn & peeled shrimp, simmer until shrimp are opaque/done as you like 'em.
--broiled, stuffed tomatoes: seasoned bread crumbs piled into a cored tomato. Brroil until crumbs are browned & tomato softens. Great w/steak.
--core big tomatoes and stuff w/shrimp remoulade or a chilled crab salad.
--uncooked pasta sauce: blanch & peel, coarsely chop tomatoes. Put into a large bowl, season w/salt, black pepper, and a generous glug of EVOO. Smash a garlic clove & toss it in. Let stand for 30 minutes, fish out the garlic clove, then toss the sauce w/hot cooked pasta (medium shapes work well)

smoked tomato jam.

Find the sweetest summer corn and use with your tomatoes to put up some maque choux.

Also, get fresh okra and make smothered okra and tomatoes for the freezer (great base for shrimp and okra gumbo, should you care for that).

that tomato pie looks good but difficult to make

Pretty easy. I buy the boxed pie crust, two to a box so I have one for the top. I just can't get a good pie dough from scratch and I've tried many times.

The absolute key is to slice, salt and let the tomatoes drain or the pie will be too watery. It's like a blt pie.

Looks delicious! Thanks!
