Tomato Plate

View the next recipe for this meal.

This luscious tomato dish is from my childhood summer dinners. Slices of the richest, juiciest seasonal tomatoes are ideal for this dish. The rest of the recipe is just a few things that are nice to sprinkle on top. Add more or less of each, to taste.

Ingredients

  • 2 tomatoes, medium to large, cut into slices
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, shaved, or toasted pine nuts
  • 4 leaves fresh basil, or more!
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, extra virgin

Preparation Instructions

Arrange tomato slices on a plate or platter, so they are just barely overlapping.

Sprinkle on any of the next few ingredients:
Thinly slice the parmesan with a vegetable peeler or paring knife to create shards of cheese. Or toast the pine nuts and sprinkle on instead.

Stack up the basil leaves and thinly slice into strips.

Top everything with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
