Directions
This is an emblematic dish of Italy, so I AM NOT KIDDING when I say it all needs to be FRESH. That's the whole thrust behind the flavor.
Cut a roma tomato into thick slices, about 1/8 to 1/4" thick.
Cut the mozzarella ball into similarly sized slices.
Place a large basil leaf over each piece of mozzarella.
Put a slice of tomato on each mozzarella / basil leaf.
Drizzle just enough olive oil over the tomato that it spills down onto the basil leaf a bit.
Crack the pepper over each.
Sprinkle each with salt.
Cut in halves.
Watch the panties come off.
Ingredients
- Fresh mozzarella (seriously
- fresh)
- Fresh basil (straight off a LIVING PLANT

- Fresh roma tomatoes
- Olive oil
- Fresh cracked black pepper (if you don't have a pepper cracker

- Sea Salt (not kidding
- don't use iodized table salt!)
