Also going to make a paella with some along with eggplant from the garden. That should take care of a few, but I'm going to have a lot more left.

Along with the sea salt, add some basil (fresh or dried) and a splash of olive oil and/or balsamic vinegar.

Make a pasta/tomato sauce from scratch. I don't have a standard recipe I follow but I can create one for you if you like. Send me a PM. If you have a lot of tomatoes, you can make this in a large quantity and they freeze it in smaller containers for another time.

Throw some thick-sliced buffalo mozzarella on top and you've got yourself a real treat.

Oh yeah! And some fresh, coarsely ground black pepper
