BEST TOMATO PUDDING

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the water and tomato puree. Mix in the brown sugar, basil and salt, and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, then set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Place the bread cubes into the dish, and drizzle with melted butter. Pour the tomato sauce over all. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove the lid for the last 10 minutes.

CHERRY PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square-baking pan. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add milk, shortening, egg, and vanilla; stir just until combined. Fold in cherries and pour into greased pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center springs back when lightly pressed. Cool 15 minutes. Cut into 6 rectangles and serve warm from pan with warm milk to pour over it, if desired.

TOMATO PUDDING IN CHERRY-TOMATO CUPS

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, remove and discard a thin slice from the tops and a very thin slice from the bottoms of the cherry tomatoes. With a small melon baller, scoop out and discard the seeds and pulp. Sprinkle the insides with salt and pepper and invert on a paper-towel-lined plate. Set aside.
• In a blender, add the plum tomatoes and puree until smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until reduced by 1/3 and very thick, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plastic-wrap-lined baking sheet and store in the refrigerator until cold.
• Push the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids. Transfer to a food processor and add the cream cheese. Pulse until smooth. Season with salt.
• On a work surface, stand the cherry tomatoes on their bottoms. Using a teaspoon, fill each with the cream cheese mixture, mounding it slightly on top. With a damp paper towel, remove any smudges. Gently press 1 chive segment onto each mound. Transfer to a platter and chill until ready to serve.

TOMATO AND BASIL SAVORY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish and place bread cubes in the dish.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes have softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in basil. Pour the entire tomato mixture over the bread. Sprinkle Romano cheese over top, then stir until well combined.
• Beat milk, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder together for custard in a large bowl until smooth. Pour over the bread mixture and gently toss to coat.
• Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until slightly puffed and golden, 24 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

TOMATO PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour the tomatoes into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Place the torn pieces of bread in a layer over the tomatoes, and dot with pieces of butter. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

SAVORY TOMATO PUDDING

Steps:

• Coarsely chop the tomatoes. Place them in a food processor and pulse until they are chopped fine. Or chop them fine by hand.
• Stir in the garlic, olive oil and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the bread into slices about 1/2-inch thick. You should have about 18 slices.
• Place 3 to 4 of the bread slices in the bottom of a 6-cup mixing bowl, trimming them if necessary so they completely cover the bottom of the bowl. Spoon about a quarter of the tomato mixture over the bread, enough to cover it. Make another layer of the bread, another of tomato, another bread, another of tomato and finish with a layer of the bread. Except for the bread in the bottom of the bowl, the other layers do not have to fit tightly.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then set a dish that will fit inside the rim of the bowl directly on the wrap. Weight this dish with a heavy can of food, a rock or other heavy object and place this assembly in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. Put the bowl on a plate to catch any liquid that may spill over.
• To serve, remove the weight, the plate and wrap. Run a flexible knife or spatula around the pudding inside the bowl to loosen it. Unmold the pudding onto a serving dish that has enough of a rim to catch any juices. Garnish the pudding with sprigs of basil and serve in wedges.
