Ingredients (1 serving)

• 1 Buffalo mozzarella
• 150 g Tomatoes
• 6 ml Extra virgin olive oil
• Fresh basil to taste

Quantities are for one serving: multiply by the number of people. Calories and macros are computed on the app's food database, ingredient by ingredient.

Method

1. Take the buffalo mozzarella out of the fridge half an hour earlier: cold, it tastes of nothing.
2. Slice the tomatoes half a centimetre thick, lay them on a plate and salt them lightly.
3. Let them sit for five minutes: the salt draws out water and concentrates the tomato flavour.
4. Drain the mozzarella of its liquid, slice it to the same thickness and alternate the slices with the tomatoes.
5. Finish with fresh basil leaves torn by hand rather than cut, because a knife makes them darken.
6. Dress with a thread of extra virgin olive oil and a grind of pepper, and serve within minutes.

Tips

• The liquid left on the plate, tomato and oil together, is the best part: mop it up with bread.
• Salt the tomato, never the mozzarella: it would dry it out.
