You say "Tomato," I say "Shut up and eat"

After 11 grueling days of winter, I'm finally starting to see really beautiful tomatoes at my little farmers' market.  You know what that means?...... It's caprese time, bitches!

OK, let's do this:

Mozzarealla Caprese
total time 5 min


really good tomatoes, sliced
really good fresh mozzarella, sliced and then torn into bite size pieces
roasted bell peppers (from a jar is fine), cut into bite sized pieces
basil, chopped
olive oil for drizzling
3-4 T balsamic vinegar
salt & pepper

Heat the balsamic in a pan over low heat until it steams - allow to reduce for a few minutes and remove from heat.

Meanwhile, arrange the cheese, tomatoes, peppers and basil in alternating layers.  Drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar reduction.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Sit back and enjoy the fact that you finally found a use for that weirdly shaped plate you registered for.
