In early September, when the garden is at its peak, we are blessed with rows of plump and juicy red tomatoes. After we have eaten our fill (can you ever really get your fill of fresh vine-ripened tomatoes?), we make a huge batch of sauce to can for the winter. But we save the biggest, most promising-looking tomatoes to roast.

Roasting is a wonderful way to bring out the essence of tomatoes. The tomatoes are sliced in half and sprinkled with good olive oil, sea salt, a grinding of black pepper, and some fresh basil and rosemary from the garden. Let them roast until your whole kitchen is bursting with their rich, seductive smell, and have a crusty loaf of bread ready. Roasted tomatoes are also a great base for pasta sauce or can be cut into small chunks and served on top of ice, chicken, or fish dishes.
