I promise this is one of the nicest ways to enjoy quality tomatoes and basil. Like I say, don't make this if you can't get hold of home-grown or vine-ripened tomatoes. It's not worth doing. And don't use your tomatoes from the fridge.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 tomatoes (don't make this unless your tomatoes are home grown or vine ripened!)
1/4 cup basil leaves, torn
1-2 tablespoon olive oil (best you can afford)
fresh ground black pepper
sea salt

Directions

1
Slice the tomatoes horizontally.
2
Arrange on a serving platter.
3
Drizzle with the oil, scatter the basil leaves over and season with the salt and pepper.
4
Enjoy.

My Ginsu that's been relegated to the back of the drawer has been waiting for his opportunity to shine! Made for Edn'8 A/NZ.

Delicious! Didn't have any fresh basil...used basil olive oil & added mozzerella! Perfect combination of flavors.

Jan, this is such a simple recipe, but it is one of the best! You have to have the best tomatoes and fresh basil to make a go of it. I have been haunting my farmer's market buying the most wonderful tomatoes. We have had this dish many times during the summer. The taste can't be beat. Thanks!
