As promised, here is the recipe for the Baked
Sungold Tomatoes. I have to admit, I pop
Sungolds into my mouth like candy so it is amazing that I ever have any left to
use in recipes. This recipe is adapted from
Faith Heller Willinger's Adventures of an
Italian Food Lover.
Baked Sungold Tomatoes - Serves 6-8
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
40-46 Sungold tomatoes (depending on
size)
2 Tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
(1 tbs dried can be substituted)
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup plain dry bread crumbs
1½ tsp Coastal California Fennel Pollen
Rub
Fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley or oregano,
roughly chopped for garnish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Drizzle ½ tbsp of the olive oil in
the bottom of a 9-inch standard glass or ceramic pie dish.
Cut the tomatoes in half cross-wise (not through the stem end).
Place half of the Sungold tomato halves, split side up, into the pie plate, arranging
them so they remain upright. (image 1-2)
In a small bowl mix together the oregano, garlic, Coastal California
Fennel Pollen Rub and bread crumbs. (image

Sprinkle the tomatoes with the bread crumb mixture. Season with
salt and pepper. (image 4)
Top with the remaining tomato halves, rounded side up, to look
like whole tomatoes again. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the tomatoes. (image 5)
Bake
for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature,
garnished with a bit of chopped parsley or oregano. (image 6)
