Ahhh, that week off was quite nice! Now back to business...the business of eating and drinking and creating lots of scrumptious meals, this week using one of my most favorite and versatile fruits, the humble tomato.
Honestly, I can barely make it through a day traveling through the Southern Europe and not have a meal without a bit of tomato thrown in. It's actually quite difficult to create a meal without it at home, too! So, now let's start with my staple salad whenever I'm abroad...
Slice one large TOMATO or a few smaller Roma tomatoes crosswise. Toss in a bowl with sliced BUFFALO MOZZARELLA, extra virgin OLIVE OIL and shredded BASIL. Arrange on plate alternating slices of tomato and mozzarella, and sprinkle with SEA SALT and cracked PEPPER. For best results, eat on a terrace on the French Riviera with a pitcher of rose under an umbrella in the sun.
If you wish, top with a few drops of balsamic vinegar or even some sliced roasted red pepper. But always, always pair with a crisp white or rose wine...
