Simplicity at its best but with the best of products. Well....apart from the tomatoes as these were Belgian/Dutch greenhouse products as I didn't have a better quality available.
Nothing that makes me long for the summer more than tomatoes. Usually we plan a trip to Italy in the summer and for me that means tomato time! Fresh,sweet tomatoes grown under the generous Italian sun and packed with firm tasty flesh - not like our water tomatoes over here!
So if you can, get good quality tomatoes like a decent Coeur de boeuf or a plum tomato.
Ingredients:
- about 4 ripe tomatoes
- 3 balls of mozzarella di bufala
- plenty of fresh basil leaves
- some dried oregano
- black pepper
- salt
- good olive oil
Cut the tomatoes in slices and do the same with the mozarella and put them in a layer on a plate. Put some leaves of basil in between and on top of the mozzarella and tomatoes. Grind some black pepper over it, sprinkle some salt and add a generous amount of oregano.
Drizzle with a good amount of decent olive oil.
Dig in and....
Enjoy,
Kev
