La Tomatina

For thousands of people in Buñol, Spain, today marks the day that they will take part in the annual throwing festival, la Tomatina. While this celebration of the fruit is one of the more unusual, there are lots of other interesting ways to enjoy tomatoes. Here are some alternative tomato celebration ideas that are slightly more….grown up (than throwing food). They'll give you all the satisfaction, without a mess to clean up afterwards- plus you can enjoy a "flavor festival" in the comfort of your own kitchen.


-crostini topped with oven roasted tomatoes and gorgonzola
- stuffed tomatoes with ricotta, lemon zest and garden herbs
-creamy tomato sauce spooned over grilled fish
-sliced tomatoes drizzled with balsamic syrup and topped with shaved parmesan


With such delicious possibilities in the kitchen, you won’t want to waste any juicy tomatoes by throwing them!
