CSA Produce: Tomatoes,
Quick, Vegetarian
Ingredients:
15–18 1/4 inch slices of french baguette bread
olive oil
2 large garlic cloves–to rub on baguette slices
fresh mozzarella, sliced quite thin–an imperfect edge looks best for presentation
2 cups diced heirloom tomatoes–1/4 inch dice, let drain in a strainer while preparing the rest of ingredients
20 medium fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces or sliced in a small chiffonade
1/2 cup red onion diced very small
2 large cloves of garlic, minced fine
kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Drizzle slices of baguette with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub each slice all over the top with the cut end of a clove of garlic and place on a baking sheet. Broil in oven until slices are golden brown and quite crisp. Set aside.
Combine the tomatoes, basil, onion, and garlic. Don’t over do the stirring, you want to leave the tomatoes intact.
Assembly: Place mozzarella slices on toasted baguettes. Spoon tomato/onion mixture onto slices. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away.
