Under the Fork | Spotlight: The Tomato
By: Joe Scrizzi
For the last 2 – 3 weeks garden fresh tomatoes have been hitting the farm stands. I was able to get a quart late June. A few of them in the box, were underripe, however they went on the windowsill for a couple of days.
Tomatoes are perfect just as is, each type has a flavor all its own! Simply sliced or quartered, they are a tasty treat!
Lettuce & tomato sandwiches have been a long time staple in my family.
Every couple days, I cut up a few, dress them with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper and sit in the fridge for a day. This allows the flavors to blend, and they are perfect as a salad topper, alongside a bunless burger, or warmed up with pasta.
Endless possibilities with tomatoes!
Bon Appetite!
