flavour of the week: tomato

Fresh tomatoes from the garden make the transition to fall at little less painful. You can’t go wrong with a little sea salt and pepper sprinkled on top. Add some olive oil, reduced balsamic, basil and bocconcini for a take on a traditional caprese. I picked up a large, fist-sized round of creamy Saputos bocconcini from Thrifty Foods this week. I’ve seen the smaller rounds and pearls at this grocery store before, but not the large rounds. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a different rendition with soy sauce, sesame oil and cliantro.
