'Some just don't appreciate the magic of a perfect tomato sandwich, while others, like me, think about it more often than is technically healthy.'
August 20, 2017
Growing up in California I was blessed with a really long tomato growing season. My family reserved tomatoes for either eating warm, right in the garden, or almost exclusively for Mom's homemade tomato sauce . Don't hate me. I never had a tomato sandwich until I was an adult and had no more garden of my own. A friend brought some fresh bounty in from her garden, and showed me that there were other ways to eat fresh tomatoes.
This was a particularly welcome post, since I just got a couple of fresh grown tomatoes to play with.Such an easy lunch for guests, or weekends when my partner's home: chunks of ripe-red tomatoes on bite-sized chunks of rustic bread, held together with mini-skewers, . Salt & pepper of course, and optionally, a thin dusting of dried oregano or very thin cut basil. Drizzle olive oil if the bread wasn't mayo-ed.
A screen-bowl protects all from flying critters. Too many fab optional accompaniments to mention really, but options are parm-curls, olives or a bowl of tamponade with little spoons, and cheeses. For just myself, any - and maybe every - day of the week when the toms are just a reach away for the picking, it's a sandwich EXACTLY as Merrill Stubbs makes 'em.I agree, this is one of my all time favorite sandwiches. Down here is Louisiana the season is also short, from early June through the 4th of July, and they absolutely must be home grown tomatoes. So simple, yet so delicious. I eat them just about every day when I can.
