Title: Roasted Tomato Soup & Bacon Grilled Cheese
Post by: deb415611 on December 16, 2012, 06:59:23 PM
I need to get this written down so I remember what I did......   Susan (who has registered here but not posted yet) was coming over to help me slice and package the bacon that I smoked this weekend so this was lunch......

I had looked at a bunch of recipes, most called for fresh tomatoes but one called for canned tomatoes roasted with some brown sugar sprinkled on top.....  so I did a mix.....  one can of cento italian style tomatoes drained (liquid reserved for later) sprinkled with some brown sugar,  a lb. of tomatoes halved, seeded , and about 1/2 container of grape tomatoes.  the two types of  fresh tomatoes had some salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.    This went into the MAK to roast at 375

missed a pic of the roasted tomatoes after they came out

meanwhile cooked a couple small sliced shallots and a couple cloves of garlic in 2 tablespoons of butter till softened.  added the reserved tomato juice , the roasted tomatoes , thyme and about 1/2 can of water and simmered for about 2 hours

buzzed it with the stick blender & then added about 1/2 cup of half and half

while that was simmering I threw a few slices of the bacon that we were slicing into the MAK to use in some grilled cheese

yesterday I baked some oatmeal bread, sliced that up,  added some slices of cheddar & havarti & bacon (a little more bacon went on after the pic was taken)

onto the griddle to grill.... after flipping once I added some grated cheddar to the griddle and flipped the sandwich onto it
