Tips
*To peel tomatoes: Make an X with a knife on the bottom of whole tomatoes, cutting just through the skin. Place into a pot of boiling water for about 1 minute, or until the skin starts to peel away from the flesh. Immediately remove tomatoes and peel.
**Roast garlic: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut about a quarter inch off the top of a bulb of garlic to expose the cloves. Rub the bulb all over with olive oil and wrap competely in foil. Bake in oven for 45 minutes.
***Creme fraich: Place 2 cups cream in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon buttermilk, stir to blend. Let sit out on the counter for 24-36 hours or until the mixture has a slight sour smell. Refrigerate.
