Since looking at all the wonderful food on Pintrest (are you sick of me talking about Pintrest yet?), I have become OBSESSED with anything tomato and mozzerela (blame it on my Italianess)
I just HAD to make these capris towers from stonegable.blogspot.com.
They were SUPER easy and look so pretty as an appetizer or salad for guests.
Ingredients:
fresh garden tomatoes
fresh mozzarella
fresh basil
olive oil
sea salt
balsamic olive oil
Directions:
-Cut tomatoes about 1/2~ 3/4 inch thick. Cut fresh mozzarella about the same.
-Cut basil into chiffonades and then chop finely. Save a few pretty tops of a basil plant for garnish.
-Pour a small pool of olive oil in the center of the plate.
-Stack 3 rounds of mozzarella and 3 tomato rounds alternately
-Drizzle more olive oil over the top of the stack so it runs down the sides.
-Sprinkle sea salt over the stacks and around the plate. Do the same with the fresh basil.
-Drizzle a little balsamic vinegar around the edge of the plate. Use a light touch! Too much will spoil the delicate balance of flavors.
-Add the basil garnish to the top of the stack.
I honestly made this in under 5 minutes, including getting the ingredients out and putting them away. I may have eaten it that fast too:) This is seriously a treat for me!!!
