Coeur de Boeuf Tomatoes

Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes can be used raw or cooked. They can be sautéed, grilled, roasted, or fried, and are a popular choice for making the French dish, ratatouille. The large size of Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes lends well for slicing onto sandwiches and salads. In Italy, they are paired with mozzarella, basil, olive oil and sea salt for a classic caprese salad, and also, thanks to their low juice content, they are a favorite variety for use in pastas and sauces. Pair tomatoes with avocado, olive oil, or nuts, as the lycopene content of tomatoes has been shown to be especially effective when eaten with fat-rich foods. Tomatoes are not only complimented by savory flavors, but they can also be paired with other fruits, such as apricots, peaches, or berries.
