There's a vendor at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market that sells blemished tomatoes for half off. These tomatoes are perfectly delicious in every way, but just not "salad" pretty if you know what I mean. I always buy a few pounds of these. The sign says they're for tomato sauces and salsas, but they would be good in any cooked recipe. Here I transformed these disfigured Lycopene-rich monsters into cute little croquettes. I mixed the chopped tomatoes with onions, garlic, chives, basil, parsley and flour, formed them into patties, and pan fried them until golden brown.

Fantastic picture. And a great idea; I’d never have thought of a croquette like that… This is the kind of eye- and mind-opening ideas I really like.
