French Tomato Recipes

Published: Oct 3, 2024 · Modified: Apr 14, 2025 by Judith Coates · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

A tomato is a versatile, sweet fruit used in savory dishes adding a slightly tangy flavor, with a juicy, acidic sweetness in every bite.

There are many different kinds of tomatoes in a beautiful array of colors red, pink, orange, yellow, green, burgundy, purple, black, and some have stripes or streaks of color.

Some types have a thicker flesh making them more suitable for making tomato sauce or puree, some are better for salads or sandwiches, and others make tasty additions to casseroles and stove-top dishes. With such a vast usefulness it is no wonder tomatoes are a staple item in the kitchen.
