(Plus I did roast rather a huge amount of tomatoes this year, I just couldn't stop once I got started.) Sounds like a wonderful combination.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Steph . . . Romas--even winter Romas--are wonderful slow-roasted. So go hunt out a bargain and roast yourself some Romas! Mike . . . I'm with you on both counts ;-). White on Rice Couple . . . Love the idea of using the tapenade as a base for flatbread! I could see it dotted with goat cheese . . . mmmmm. Susan . . . You're right, this is also great spooned over polenta. I like little pan-fried slabs of it. Josie . . . I'm so glad someone else is a tomato hoarder too! Whew! I LOVE the idea of a swirled dip--beautiful and delicious. I think the piquancy of the tapenade will pair beautifully with the creaminess of the beans. Let me know how it works! Elisabeth . . . I know, it's an odd thing. And I'm sure many a vegetarian would rightfully fight me on my red-wine reasoning for keeping meat in my diet. But hey, it works for me. ;-) FlaNboyant Eats . . .

I have a bunch in my freezer. Maybe I could "swirl" this into a tuscan white bean dip for the Super Bowl this weekend? I love hummus and olive tapenade side-by-side so why not Roasted Tomato Tapenade and Bean dip mixed?! Thanks Lia!! Count me as a tomato hoarder. I have a bunch in my freezer.

I too love roasted tomatoes on everything from fish to polenta. They're so wonderfully flavorful. I’m so pleased you enjoyed a taste of summer in January.
