What do I do with Tomato?

We can find tomatoes in pretty much every grocer or market that we go to. It can be considered as an essential vegetable in the culinary world.
Just for the fun of it, I searched for types of tomatoes and I was surprised at the number of varieties that are available.

There is a website that serves as a guide, each type of tomato with its specific culinary purpose:

And there are so many more varieties listed here:

I prefer my tomato cooked as you can read from above because raw tomato can be sour and that hurts my tongue.
My favourite use of a tomato is usually in soup, vegetable soup to be exact, slicing them into quarters:

and just putting them together with the other vegetables and mushrooms and seasoning to boil:


Once all the veges have cooked and soften, the soup would be totally tasty and nutritious.

My next favourite thing to do with a tomato is pasta!
Well, I don't make the pasta sauce from fresh tomatoes but I usually buy the pasta sauce ready made and cook the pasta sauce with either tuna and potatoes or seafood and potatoes or just seafood or just mushrooms:


I do like penne because of its chewy texture and they are easier to eat. No tomato sauce splitter splatter all over my clothes :) Just take a mouthful and place them nicely into the mouth and then chew :)

If raw, I would prefer them small and hopefully sweet and juicy like little cherry tomatoes or roma tomatoes in salads:

Sometimes, when I order fish and chips or chicken chop in restaurants, they would come with a side serving of slice tomato and cucumber. Most times, I would eat them because I believe that they are good for our body.

Tomatoes are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, potassium, vitamin K, and folate.
