Tomato Tips
Coring: Use a sharp paring knife to make several angled cuts through the stem and under the core.
Seeding: Lay the tomato on its side and halve with a sharp serrated knife. Squeeze each half firmly enough to push out the seeds. Discard seeds.
Peeling: To eliminate the skin in cooked dishes, gently lower 2 or 3 tomatoes at a time into enough boiling water to cover. Boil for 15 to 30 seconds, lift into a colander with a slotted spoon. Rinse briefly under cold running water. Peel off and discard skins.
Melt butter in large, heavy pot. Add onion and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly browned, for about 6 to 7 minutes.
Add corn and garlic, and cook while stirring until corn is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add broth and simmer until corn is tender, about 15 minutes. Lightly season with kosher salt and pepper to taste.
Using slotted spoon, transfer 1 1/2 cups corn to blender, add sour cream and 1/2 cup cooking liquid and puree until smooth, for about 2 minutes. Return puree to soup. Add tomatoes, scallion and 1 tablespoon cilantro to soup and cook until heated through. Serve hot and garnish with cilantro and chopped tomato, if desired.
Cut tomatoes crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; cut slices into quarters; set aside.
In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add steak; cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Turn; cook until browned and medium-rare, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil.
To skillet add broccoli, mushrooms, green onions and garlic; cook covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 minutes.
Whisk together oyster sauce, 1/4 cup water, ginger and cornstarch. Add to vegetables in skillet; cook and stir until sauce thickens.
Stir in snow peas; cover and remove from heat.
Meanwhile, thinly slice steak across grain; cut slices into quarters. To skillet, add steak with any drippings and reserved tomatoes; cook stirring constantly, just until heated through. Serve over steamed rice or fried noodles, if desired.
Core and cut each tomato into 12 wedges. Cut each orange crosswise into 6 slices; cut slices into halves.
In blender or food processor, place 8 tomato wedges and 4 end orange slices. Whirl until smooth, about 1 minute. Add vinaigrette; blend until smooth.
Place 1 cup of greens on each of 4 chilled salad plates. Top each with equal amounts of tomato wedges, orange slice halves, shrimp, green pepper and goat cheese. Drizzle each salad with some dressing; serve with remaining dressing.
In small saucepan, steam broccoli for about 5 to 6 minutes, until just tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to serving bowl.
Bring medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook until done according to package instructions. Drain and toss with broccoli and pesto until thoroughly coated.
Add tomatoes and toss briefly. Pepper dish and garnish with feta cheese. Serve at once.
