Here is a minimalist recipe for enhancing the natural brilliance of
vine-ripened tomatoes. It calls for dressing them with a small amount of
warmed, scallion-infused olive oil, then finishing the dish with a little
salt and pepper. Rather than overshadowing the flavor of the tomatoes, this
treatment augments it beautifully.
* Simplest Tomato Salad tastes best if eaten shortly after it is assembled.
* I like it at room temperature.
1) Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the
scallions, and saut. for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until the scallions are
completely wilted. Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes.
2) Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half; squeeze out and discard the seeds.
Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks, and place them in a medium-sized
glass or ceramic bowl.
3) Pour the scallions and oil over the tomatoes, and sprinkle on a little
salt and a fair amount of black pepper. Stir gently and serve right away at
room temperature, or cover tightly and chill.
