I happened upon an amazing recipe recently that uses heirloom cherry tomato.

It's basically...in a skillet, heat olive oil, chopped garlic, black pepper. Add the cherry tomatoes covering the bottom, periodically rolling them around so they heat evenly. When the skins start wrinkling, add a cup or two (depending on how much you're making) of white wine and bring to a simmer. Then add a heaping tablespoon of capers and a heaping cup of pitted calmata olives. When everything is simmering, add a bunch of large peeled shrimp. As soon as they turn orange and curl, take off heat. Serve on top of linguini or fettuccini, and top w/ a generous amount of crumbled feta cheese. DELICIOUS!!! :giggle:
That is a gussied up version of Puttenesca Sauce....A dish served by the puttana in Naples to all the boys disembarking ship after a long sea journey...Translates to sauce of the "wh**e.

Absolutely one of my favorite dishes, so savory...and a lot of fun to tell the history behind it at the table.

I'm leaving early for the day, stop for some greens, hmmm...got olives, green and calamata, got capers, need wine. Gonna make some of that!!

I'm impressed. You guys are gourmet chefs, while my cooking can be summed up as "food that's not raw".
