INSTRUCTIONS

PROVOLONE GARLIC BREAD
1. Mix tomatoes, green onions, parsley, rosemary, garlic, olive oil and
vinegar in a shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl and
let tomatoes marinate at room temperature at least 1 hour, but preferably 3
to 4 hours or overnight. Stir occasionally.
2. For garlic bread, mix olive oil and garlic in a small bowl and let stand
10 minutes so the flavors blend. Meanwhile, heat broiler. Brush one side of
each bread piece with the garlic/olive oil mixture, and broil, oiled side
up, until lightly browned. Place a slice of provolone and a generous
sprinkling of Parmesan on toasted side of each slice, saving a little for
garnish. Set the bread aside.
3. Just before serving, heat the broiler. Toast the bread under the broiler
until cheese is bubbly. To serve, put a piece of the bread in a shallow
soup bowl. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the tomatoes and marinade on or around
the edges of the bread. Garnish with more Parmesan and serve.

In a tomato frenzy? Here's what to do with all those fruits of the vine: -
Never refrigerate tomatoes; cold temperatures make the flesh pulpy and
destroy flavor. ~ Peeling tomatoes isn't necessary if you're going to use
them raw in salads, salsas or on sandwiches; wash the skin before you stem
and core. - To peel, immerse in boiling water for 30 seconds; drain and
peel with a paring knife. - To seed, cut the tomato in half horizontally.
Set a strainer over a bowl and gently squeeze the seeds into it. - Or, if
you want the shell intact, cut off the top 1/2-inch; scoop out seeds and
core with a grapefruit spoon. - Never cook tomatoes or tomato-based sauces
in an aluminum pan; they lose their bright color and can pick up an
unpleasant taste.
