Try This Now!

It has quickly become the end of tomato season, and we find ourselves moving quite fast into the savory harvest of fall. Not all hope is lost for our heirloom obsessions though.

In this in between moment of the year, try combining the crunchy and the cured. A salad at Blue Hill at Stone Barns led to the joyful discovery of mixing the last of the heirloom tomatoes with high quality jars of sun-dried varieties.

Sort through your basket of cherry tomatoes and select only the good ones. Chop them in half and supplement the number over ripe ones with chopped sun dried flecks. Incorporate some of the oil from the jar while tossing the tomato pair.

The result is sophisticated flavor from one very simple ingredient.
