Remember weekend before last when we had this harvest (see above) with some not quite ripe tomatoes? Per several suggestions, we put them in the window ledge at the apartment and by Friday...
 |
| Garden fresh tomatoes |
...this is what those same four tomatoes looked like! They were the most beautiful red color, even more vibrant than we see in the store!
We needed to use them fast so...
...I sliced a couple of them up, along with some fresh basil from our garden, and some mozzarella...
 |
| Caprese crackers |
...and stacked them on water crackers, drizzled it all with olive oil and a nice, sweet, balsamic vinegar.
They were SO good.

We each had a plate (with a few extra for seconds) and it made for a nice dinner, actually very filling.
Your tomatoes ripened up nicely.
ReplyDeleteThinking to self; 'I wonder how it would be to put them under the broiler for just a bit till the cheese melts slightly'
Didn't they? We were actually surprised, ha. And boring these wow that could be really good. Thanks!
DeleteYum, that looks so delicious! And really beautiful also - we eat with our eyes first!
ReplyDeleteWe always try to make it look nice, even though it's just us eating.
DeleteGreat looking dinner! I never thought of serving this on crackers, will try it. I currently have 8 large ones on the window sill and more green ones on the plants. I see lots of caprese and blt's and tomato spaghetti in our near future. I do freeze the little grape and cherry ones for "fresh" tomato and garlic sauce in the "winter".
ReplyDeleteIt was kind of a random thought and it was so good. We used those "Carr Water Crackers". They are good size, round and so the ingredients fit nicely. ha. And we love BLT's. Mmmm. Thanks for the info!
DeleteMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! You should try to make your own Mozzarella 1st Man!!! :) I follow a very simple 30 minute recipe and it's amazingly delicious and VERY easy! https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-homemade-mozzarella-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-174355
ReplyDeleteHmm, that's interesting! I will have to check out that link, Thank you!!!!
DeleteTHAT LOOKS DELICIOUS! Love it and so fresh from the garden. If you made cheese and 2nd Man made crackers that whole meal could be homemade, ha. Becca
ReplyDeleteThank you. And you are right, we could make it almost all homemade/grown!
DeleteI can taste those in my mind! Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThey were delicious!!!
