The most wonderful part of walking out to the garden and\u00a0 picking tomatoes is the fragrance of\u00a0 their leaves.\u00a0 You rub them between your fingers then inhale. \u00a0 It’s an intoxicating aroma.\u00a0 It begs you to pluck a ripened tomato from the vine.\u00a0 You know which tomato is perfect for picking.\u00a0 You gently\u00a0 touch it and it falls into your waiting hand.<\/p>\n

You fill your basket with the little darlings.\u00a0\u00a0 Then if you are like me you can’t resist choosing the most perfect tomato and bite into it.\u00a0 You\u00a0 savor the sweet flesh and juices still warm from the sun.\u00a0\u00a0 This is bliss.<\/p>\n

And then when you get just a little weary of another BLT sandwich or one more tomato enhanced salad\u00a0 you make this glorious, very French, so addictive,\u00a0 extraordinary simple dish of tomatoes simmered in a little butter, sprinkled with fresh thyme, sea salt and freshly ground pepper and cloaked in rich cream.\u00a0 Unlike most French recipes containing tomatoes you do not peel or seed the tomatoes.<\/p>\n

This is the perfect side dish for grilled meats or roasts.\u00a0 Served with savory suppertime cr\u00eapes it is positively a star.\u00a0 Head out to the garden or your favorite Farmer’s Market and choose the most perfect tomatoes.<\/p>\n
