It is September, nights are getting colder, and that means eating a lot of tomatoes as fast as we can! If you’re getting weary of Caprese salads and BLTs, try some Tomatoes a la Provencale. Here’s a classic version, adapted from Lulu’s Provencal Table, by Richard Olney.
8 medium-sized (about 3 pounds) regular-shaped, firm, garden-ripe tomatoes, stem pulled off but uncored, rinsed, and dried
Salt
6 garlic cloves, lightly crushed and peeled
large handful of Italian parsley
1 cup semidry bread crumbs (from good ciabatta or similar country white)
pepper
about 5 tablespoons olive oil
