TOMATO GRATER RECIPES

Steps:

• Slice a thin round off the bottom of each tomato. Starting at cut end, grate tomatoes on the largest holes of a grater over a medium bowl until all that’s left is the flattened tomato skin and stem; discard. Season grated flesh with several generous pinches of salt.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook garlic, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add rosemary and cook, tossing, just until fragrant and starting to brown around edges, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, add tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until mixture is slightly thickened, 5–10 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter, and stir until melted. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
• Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a shallow 2-quart baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
• Arrange 4 slices of bread over the bottom of the baking dish, tearing to fit. Top with half the tomato slices. Sprinkle the garlic over the tomatoes, then sprinkle with half the chives. Season with salt and pepper. Crumble the goat cheese or feta over the chives and drizzle with half of the oil. Top with remaining bread slices, pressing firmly to fit. Arrange remaining tomato slices on top, then sprinkle with the remaining chives, the parmesan cheese, and additional pepper to taste. Drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cheese on top is golden and the tomatoes are soft.
