Fresh Garden tomatoes

Good morning. Here is a mixture that can go well with either meat or fish. It is something that can be made relatively quick and can be used as an alternative tomato sauce for the pan fried scallop dish from my previous post.mmmm. Fresh garden tomatoes. Seeds in or seeds out.? I like to take out the seeds but i f you prefer to keep the seeds that okay to. But i take one tomato, pull off the green stumpy stem as i like to call it, and cut the tomato in half. Gentley squeeze out the seeds and as they start to protrude out of the tomato half just give it generally one good snap followed by a good shake and say good bye to the seeds..or the other way is to spoon them out. From here dice up the tomato, small to medium is good and add some of these following ingredients to boost flavor. Fresh onions, garlic, herbs and a little salt and pepper. You can puree this if you like but generally when you heat this up in a hot pan it softens up really nice. You can use basil or parley if you prefer this as the herbs. This is great for making a quick sauce right in the pan with either fish or meat. If you want to add a little color use some paprika. But fresh garden tomatoes...you can beat that. Enjoy
