Sigh. I used my last tomato this weekend making vegetable pizza. I think this is pretty darn good, eating fresh tomatoes from the garden in January. Just wish they would have lasted even longer. I am definitely planting Golden Treasure tomatoes next year and hoping for a repeat of long lasting tomatoes.
I did have pizza again the next day and guess what! If you dry tomatoes you can add them to your vegetable pizza. No, they are not as good as fresh, but they are a lot better than you can find in the grocery store at this time of year. I don't regret buying my food dryer at all. I can still look forward to tomatoes that taste great through spring.
Vegetable Pizza
I buy whole wheat pizza crust and use pesto for the sauce. The pesto includes basil, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts and salt. I tend to do the by guess and by golly cooking method here. Pick what vegetables you wish to add, onion, pepper, broccoli whatever. Saute them in a little olive oil. Spread the pesto on the crust, add the sauteed vegetables, fresh tomatoes (or dried) if you have them, a little feta cheese and bake at about 375 degrees for ten minutes. A friend of mine, Elise Brooks, first made this for me three years ago and I have been making it ever since. It is simply yummy!
