The Week · Provisioning Manifest
The Blistered Tomato Week One big container of cherry tomatoes anchors all four nights, backed up by garlic, fresh basil, lime, and cilantro that rotate through every dish. Buy Saturday, prep basil/garlic/lime wedges and rinse the tomatoes Sunday, and each dinner clocks in around 15 minutes of actual cooking. Nothing lingers past Thursday.
