Home Grown Tomatoes

Home Grown Tomatoes

We live in a flat with no outdoor space so growing things is generally a window sill gig. But that’s cool, we like to experiment. In the spring we had a shop bought Tomato which had found a hiding place at the back of the salad draw in the fridge where it was quietly returning to a composted state! So I cut in half and popped half in some compost in a big pot in the Bedroom / Dinning Room. I’ve no idea what variety they were other then “Salad Tomatoes” but it grew a vast amount of greenery and a few Tomatoes.....

First eaten return on our investment!

(3) In a little Oil roast the boiled Rosecoco Bean until the pop onen and set aside to cool.
(4) In a food processor wuzz at the covering ingredients with enough oil to make a think Pate and set aside.
(5) In the washed and dried food processor wuzz the crispy coating ingredients into a Bread crumb texture and set aside.
