    Tomatoes! One of the most versatile individual ingredients that can virtually stand alone as the star of a plate or perfectly accompany other items. They are used in dishes originating in so many regions. Sauces, soups, combining with cheeses and spices, zingy salads, and of course the Fried Green variety. Tomatoes are a very healthy addition to most any meal and also add a beautiful pop of color to most any dish. So take those tomatoes and roast them, marinate them, slice them, stuff them. As long as you serve them, tomatoes will never let you down.
