The tomato season is almost over here in the Hudson Valley. Because of the Indian Summer, it will last a few more weeks. The crop wasn't as good as years before but they were delicious all the same. Red, juicy and bursting with flavor. Anyone who stills buys supermarket tomatoes....you know, the kind they give you on deli sandwiches......well....I feel sad for you. You don't know what you're missing!Start with a nice size tomato and slice through it 4 or 5 times into thick 1/2 inch wheels, slice some FRESH mozzarella the same, add some fresh basil leaves (I pull mine right off the plant).
Now build a tower starting with the bottom slice of tomato (the largest), a slice of mozzarella, basil, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, some sea salt and cracked pepper, continue until tower is complete. Garnish with mixed olives and Sriracha chili sauce dimes.
Oh yeah,...........Remember to make it with love for someone you love.
