ROASTED GARLIC & GREEN ONION FILLED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Remove outer husk of garlic head, cut off top with stem so that tops of bulbs are exposed. Place on aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Close aluminum foil packet and place in 325F preheated oven for 45-60 minute When bulb is soft, remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Wash tomatoes. Cut a tiny sliver off of the bottom of each one, just to ensure they stand up (be careful not to pierce the tomato). Cut off top of each tomato and clean out insides. If you have time you can sprinkle the insides with salt and place upside down on a rack to drain, but it's not necessary.
• In a bowl, combine cream cheese, green onions or chives (or any other herb that goes well with roasted garlic) and lemon juice. Take roasted heaad of garlic and squeeze paste from bulbs directly into bowl. Mix well (I use the whisk attachment on a stand mixer, gets it blended nicely in no time).
• Use the piping bag to fill each tomato. Garnish as desired (sweet paprika and chives shown in picture). Note: if storing overnight in fridge, you may want to remove the cheese a few minutes before filling the tomatoes to soften it up and make it easier to squeeze out with the piping bag; however, I found that there was still a lot of condensation which dripped on the plate and tomato, so I wrapped a paper towel around the tip to catch any dripping.

• Toss the tomatoes lightly with olive oil on a sheet pan. Spread them out into one layer and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft.
• Transfer the tomatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with basil leaves and sea salt. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GARLIC AND HERB TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold all the tomatoes in one layer. Add the garlic to the oil and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to loose their firm round shape. Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped basil and parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.

ROASTED POTATOES, CHERRY TOMATOES, AND GREEN BEANS

• Spray a jellyroll pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Toss potatoes in a zip-top bag with 2 T. olive oil.
• Scatter on pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast until tender, approximately 50 minutes, turning occasionally.
• In the meantime, cook the green beans in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes.
• Drain beans and pat dry.
• Place beans, tomatoes, and garlic in another zip-top bag.
• Add 2 T. olive oil and shake to mix.
• When potatoes are tender, add the bean mixture and roast another 8 minutes.

CHERRY TOMATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC FILLING

Steps:

• In a foil-lined baking dish drizzle the garlic with the oil, bake it, covered loosely with foil, in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 1 1/4 hours, or until the pulp is very soft, and let it cool until it can be easily handled. Squeeze the pulp from the cloves into a bowl and let it cool. Mash the pulp until it is smooth (there should be about 1/4 cup purée.)
• Using a serrated knife, on a work surface cut a thin slice from the bottom of each tomato so that it stands upright. Cut off a thin slice from each stem end and with a small melon-ball cutter scoop out the flesh and seeds carefully, forming tomato shells. Sprinkle the insides of the tomato shells with salt, invert the tomatoes on racks set over paper towels, and let them drain for 30 minutes.
• In a bowl whisk together the cream cheese, the lemon juice, the garlic purée, and salt and pepper to taste until the filling is smooth. Using a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip, pipe the filling into the tomato shells. Garnish the filled shells with basil.
