Roasted Tomatoes Recipe
Today we are together with a recipe that I am sure many would describe as eggless menemen; roasted tomatoes. It is basically a sauce made by roasting garlic, peppers and tomatoes and flavoring them with a few spices. You can eat it with bread or plain. I am not normally someone who can eat such juicy foods without bread. But even I can eat spoonfuls of it. Thanks to the spices it contains, it has a very mild flavor compared to a dish containing intensely scented garlic and acidic tomatoes.
There is a spice used in the recipe that may not be available in every home; marjoram. Marjoram is a fragrant spice. If you do not have the opportunity to find marjoram, you can also use thyme which also goes well with tomatoes. For topping, you can use chopped fresh parsley, dill, mint or basil.
Can Roasted Tomatoes Be Served Cold?
Roasted tomatoes are usually served hot, but since it is prepared with olive oil, there is no harm in serving it cold. For example, you can take it to a picnic. It is a very good accompaniment to tea for breakfast, and it will also be a good meal with melon or watermelon. You can serve roasted tomatoes on a plate or on slices of toasted sourdough bread.
