In this month’s issue of bon appétit there was a quick article addressing the tomato-less months of winter. Yeah, there are tomatoes in the store, but if I have another crunchy, tasteless fruit with seeds…yuck. So the article suggests a few pestos and pastes to tide us all over, but I don’t want to smear tomato paste into my salads. Sure, the true gourmand will stick to canned San Marzano’s until after the thaw, but what’s out there for those of us who want to cheat?
Grape tomatoes, while far from prefect in frigid months, have a nice tang reminiscent of sunnier days to come. For $2.49 at the elbows flying roller derby of a Trader Joe’s here in New York’s Union square, I can get an 8oz box that lasts about a week in a half. I put them in salads, quesadillas and even bruschetta. Not bad for 20 degree weather.
