Hi there, Ameera here!

This tasty dish is so pretty to look at and even more fun to eat! We put it on our Quinoa Flatbreads and thought we died and went to heaven. It just so gosh-darned delish! It makes for the most perfect refreshing taste of summer.

Roasting Tomatoes

Roasting tomatoes is so easy. If you have never done it before, you are going to realize what you have been missing. You can basically roast tomatoes 3 different ways. You can roast them in the oven, on the stove top, or on the grill.  All three ways work perfectly for this dish.  See the recipe notes for details.

Balsamic Reduction

Making a balsamic reduction is also super easy. Of course, if you can find it at the store (read the ingredients), you can save yourself a little bit of time (about 10 minutes) or you can make it like we do.  Add some balsamic vinegar in a small sauce pan, bring it to a boil, and reduce it by half. It will create a syrup-like consistency.

The key is to buy a good quality balsamic vinegar.  Purchase one that you would enjoy with a salad.  It doesn’t have to be expensive, just not a low-quality balsamic vinegar, as it tends to be more acidic. We have tried some cheaper brands, and they just don’t taste very good.

Quinoa Flatbread

These Roasted Tomato Stuff Avocados taste amazing on a quinoa flatbread. I literally made a meal out of them. Drooling just thinking about it.

The sweetness of the roasted tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and creamy avocadoes drizzled with the balsamic reduction all resting on a beautiful flatbread was pure heaven.

2. Roast, pan “fry,” or grill the tomatoes (see notes), place the roasted tomatoes into a bowl, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of the Spice/Herb Mix. Stir to incorporate.  Cover with plastic wrap to allow the tomatoes to steam in the bowl and stay warm.
3. In the meantime, make the Balsamic Reduction (if needed).

Sprinkle the avocado with the Spice/Herb Mix, then pick up the roasted tomatoes, squeeze out some of the liquid and arrange on top of the avocados.  Top with thinly sliced red onions, freshly sliced basil leaves, and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.  Top with a sprinkling of hemp seeds (optional).  Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*Roasted Tomatoes:  It is very easy to roast tomatoes. You have several options with this recipe. Oven: You can simply place 8 small tomatoes onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and put them in a 425 F oven for 10 minutes. Grill: You can place them on the grill for 10 minutes. Do not use the hottest part of the grill.  Stove Top:  You can place them in a skillet with 3 Tablespoons of water and steam “fry” them until the skins wrinkle and burst (approx. 5 to 7 minutes).  After you have roasted the tomatoes, place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to allow them to concentrate their sugars.  Don’t forget to give them a squeeze before plating as they tend to have a lot of water and you don’t want all that water on your serving platter. We squeezed/ smashed the roasted tomatoes over a bowl to get rid of most of the water. Then we laid them down on a cutting board and cut them into pieces.

*Balsamic Reduction:  Most major grocery stores carry Balsamic Reduction (make sure you check the ingredients) in the Salad Dressings or Vinegars sections of the store. If you can’t find it; it is very easy to make. We have included instructions in Step 3.  A Balsamic Reduction is simply boiling off the excess liquids from Balsamic vinegar to create a concentrated, syrup-like consistency.  The sugars concentrate and develop into a delicious syrup. Making a balsamic reduction does tend to perfume the air in the kitchen a tiny bit!  Some enjoy the smell while others may find it strong.  We didn’t mind it, but we wanted to make sure you were aware.  Note:  After boiling the balsamic vinegar for 10 minutes, if it doesn’t appear “syrupy” yet, simply remove from the stove and allow it to slightly cool.  As it cools, it tends to thicken up.  If still not “syrupy” enough, you can either use as is (which is also delicious) or continue to cook until the desired syrup thickness is achieved.

*Red Onions:  Cut the red onions into very fine slices.  They should almost be razor-like slices.  This creates a better mouth feel as you are not chomping down on chunks of onion.

*Avocadoes:  It is visually appealing to show this dish using avocado halves, yet we found it was easier to eat when we sliced the avocadoes as shown in the photos with the flatbread.

*Quinoa Flatbread:  We served ours on individual pieces of Quinoa Flatbread, it was amazing!  We used sliced avocadoes on the flatbread.

*Sea Salt:  Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

*Storage:  Refrigerate, use within 1 to 2 days.

*Servings:  Serves 4
