This is my favorite way to use farmer's market tomatoes. I serve it with grilled garlic toast, like bruscetta, or over pasta for a light summer dinner. Ingredients:
3 large tomatoes, cored, and diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 -3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste (i use a lot of pepper) |
1/4 cup olive oil |
Directions:
1. Toss all ingredients in a bowl.
2. If using as a bread topping, grill or toast slices of french bread. Cut a garlic clove in half and rub cut half on the warm bread. Top with tomato mixture for an amazing summer treat.
3. If using as a pasta sauce, put the pasta on to boil while you are chopping and dinner will be done in a flash. Toss drained pasta with the room temperature tomato mixture. Cubed fresh mozzarella makes a nice addition to the warm pasta and sauce.
