Skillet Blistered Tomatoes On The Vine
There is something magical about the way cast iron ( Smithey’s No. 12 Skillet is our favorite ) transforms simple ingredients. A cluster of ripe tomatoes, still attached to the vine, becomes sweet, jammy, and deeply flavorful as their skins blister and char. Finished with Lange Flaky Sea Salt, this dish is a reminder that great cooking often requires very little-just quality ingredients and thoughtful craftsmanship.
Ingredients
2 large cluster vine-ripened tomatoes
1–2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed or chopped
A few sprigs fresh thyme or basil if desired
Freshly cracked black pepper
Method
Preheat your Smithey 12" skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the olive oil, garlic, and herbs, allowing them to gently infuse the oil for about 30 seconds. Carefully place the tomatoes, still attached to the vine, into the skillet.
Allow the tomatoes to cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes. As the skins begin to blister and char, rotate the vine occasionally, letting each side make contact with the hot cast iron. Continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened, lightly caramelized, and beginning to release their sweet juices.
Remove from the heat and finish generously with Lange Flaky Sea Salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Serve warm, directly from the skillet, with grilled sourdough, fresh burrata, roasted fish, or simply as they are.
A Simple Finishing Touch
The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity. The Smithey skillet develops deep flavor through gentle blistering and caramelization, while a final sprinkle of Lange Flaky Sea Salt adds delicate crunch and enhances the tomatoes' natural sweetness. Simple ingredients, thoughtfully crafted, coming together exactly as they should.

Summer Citrus Salad
Ingredients
2 cara cara oranges
2 navel oranges
1 grapefruit
1 pomegranate
1/3 cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
A small handful of fresh mint leaves
For the dressing
2 tbsp raw honey
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Juice from one orange
Instructions
Prep the citrus and Pomegranate
Peel all the citrus, cutting both ends off and using a rounded motion with pairing knife to remove peel and as much of the white pith as possible. Slice into rounds. Arrange on a serving platter, slightly overlapping. Slice off the top (crown) of the pomegranate using a sharp knife. You’ll start to see the sections inside. Score the skin, looking for natural ridges running from top to bottom. Gently cut along those ridges, making 4-6 shallow cuts. Break apart the fruit over a bowl and gently pull it apart into sections using your hands. Hold a section cut-side down and tap the back firmly with a spoon so the seeds fall out. Sprinkle over citrus to add color to the citrus salad.
Make the dressing
In a. small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and fresh orange juice until emulsified. Taste and adjust.
Assemble the salad
Tear or slightly chiffonade the mint leaves and sprinkle over the salad. Add handful of shelled pistachios for added texture. Finish with a generous pinch of Lange Pure Flake Sea Salt. Enjoy!
