You Say TomatoRecipes fresh off the vine

There’s nothing like a juicy, ripe tomato to wake up a recipe and put a smile on your face. and toma-

toes’ versatility means that you can enjoy them in a wide range of dishes that make friends and family smile too.

“Florida tomatoes have been the inspi-ration for many of my most treasured recipes,” says justin timineri, executive chef and culinary ambassador for the Florida Department of agriculture and consumer services. “But honestly, my side dish of choice — the simple joy of fresh, raw Florida tomatoes seasoned with a sprinkle of sea salt.”

chef justin has created these recipes that maximize that fresh-off-the-vine taste and minimize your time in the kitchen. For more Florida tomato reci-pes, visit floridatomatoes.org.

Classic Tomato Flavoring Partners

When creating your own tomato dish-es, keep these great flavor partners in mind: basil, black pepper, kosher salt, lemon, lime, chili peppers or powder, curry powder, garlic, orange zest, orega-no, rosemary and tarragon

Storing Tomatoesare you one of the 60 percent of

people who currently store tomatoes in the refrigerator? chef justin says that kills flavor and texture.

instead, ripen your tomatoes in a bowl on your counter where they can reach full flavor and color — a treat for your eyes and your palate. to hasten ripening, place tomatoes in a sealed paper bag or fruit-ripening bowl.

Your Recipe Could Win $500to celebrate the versatility and great

flavor of fresh Florida tomatoes, the Florida tomato committee is hosting its Most Delicious Dish recipe contest. submit an original recipe that incorpo-rates fresh Florida tomatoes. the win-ning recipe will be selected on the basis of taste, appearance and ease of prepara-tion, with attention also given to clear and creative photos. get all the details at floridatomatoes.org.

Arugula and Mozzarella Spiked Tomatoes with Basil Vinaigrette

yield: 4 servings; ingredients: 4 medi-um sized Florida tomatoes; 1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese; 1 bunch fresh

Florida arugula (or basil).Vinaigrette: 1/3 cup olive oil; 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 1 tablespoon honey; 2 table-spoons chopped fresh basil; 1 clove gar-lic, minced; kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

For vinaigrette: in medium sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey, basil and garlic until completely emulsified. taste and adjust seasoning with kosher salt and fresh ground pep-per.

For tomatoes: rinse tomatoes under cold running water and pat dry with clean paper towels. With a sharp serrated knife, cut each tomato into an even number of wedges. then make a hori-zontal cut near the tip of each wedge, being careful not to cut all the way down. set aside sliced tomatoes.

cut mozzarella into slices that will fit into the slices made in the tomatoes. (try to fit one piece of mozzarella into a tomato to see what size you’ll need to cut the rest.) to assemble, insert a slice of mozzarella into each tomato wedge. arrange wedges on a plate and top with arugula or basil leaves. garnish with basil vinaigrette. season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. serve at room temperature. n
