Notes: Instructor-chef John Vollertsen of the Vista Clara Ranch Resort & Spa in Galisteo, New Mexico, created this mildly sweet and tangy dressing to add a bit of zip to greens. You can make it up to 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Ingredients:
4 roma tomatoes (12 oz. total) |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar |
about 1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon firmly packed brown sugar |
4 fresh basil leaves (each 2 in. long), rinsed, or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Rinse and core tomatoes; cut in half lengthwise. Set halves, cut side up, in a 9-inch cake pan. Brush cut sides with a total of 2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake in a 400° regular or convection oven until tomatoes are browned, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool.
2. In a blender, whirl tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, remaining 4 teaspoons olive oil, brown sugar, and basil until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
