Len's Recipe of the Month - August 2023

 

We're in the summer period of three weeks or so where I will actually eat a tomato.  I mean, this is when tomatoes taste best at your local farmer's market or road side stand.  And I'll still roast them for a bit in the oven.

Here's a great and cool way to serve them.  Lay out some parchment paper on a cookie sheet.  Slice a couple of them and place them on the sheet.  Set your oven for 375.  Sprinkle some kosher salt and then drizzle some olive oil on them.  The big secret here is also to sprinkle some brown sugar on top.   It will help with caramelizing them.  Place in the oven for about forty minutes.

While they're in the oven, lay out some slices of prosciutto and mozzarella on a plate.  Take the tomatoes out and layer them on top.   Drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar.

A perfect late summer meal.

Dinner last night:   You're looking at it.
