If you love tomatoes like I do, then you may enjoy this recipe. It's a quick side dish/plate filler that doesn't have too many ingredients, it's healthy and tastes nice. Original recipe calls for Roma and Plum tomatoes but I use what is in season. This recipe comes from a book called "Purely Golden Door" by The Golden Door Health Retreats.

    These tomatoes are awesome. I used a new sweet variety, (Chocolate tomatoe) that is deep and robust in flavor. Prepared this way they almost tasted like sun dried tomatoes. They were wonderful. I used white balsamic vinegar and fresh basil from the garden. A small leaf variety, so no slicing was necessary. I will be making these again. Thanks for posting.

    I love fresh tomatoes with basil not to mention balsamic vinegar. The flavors are simple just like the ingredients but there is allot of flavor! So refreshing. I did add some fresh oregano and some mini boccocini cheese (fresh soft mozzarella) balls before serving. This looked so pretty and colorful. Made and reviewed for NZ/AUS recipe swap #26, March '09.
