FEATURED RECIPE
BALSAMIC GLAZED SLICED TOMATOES
This is the best summer tomato recipe we have ever found. Passed down by Kristin’s mom, Linda, slightly baking the fresh sliced tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness which is balanced by balsamic vinegar and tangy parmesan.
Ingredients:
Garden fresh tomatoes
Olive Leaf Traditional Balsamic Vinegar
Spinach - bag full
Garlic - chopped
Parmesan cheese - shredded
Method:
Marinate sliced tomatoes for 2-3 hours in Traditional Balsamic - just enough to cover
Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes, or until slightly tender
Meanwhile, saute spinach in EVOO until wilted, turn off heat, add garlic and a dash of salt
Put sauted spinach on top of hot tomatoes, sprinkle with cheese. Broil until cheese is golden.
