Tomatoes are in season right now and I can’t seem to get my fill of this delicious sent from heaven fruit. (Yes, it is a fruit.) I am lucky enough to live in Tomato Country where all grocery stores, Saturday markets and street stands are selling locally grown tomatoes.
Here is my favorite summer-time tomato recipe. The tomatoes are diced and mixed with fresh basil and scallions and then sent off to a bath of XVOO and a good red wine vinegar. Toss some cooked, right out of the boiling water, angel hair pasta and you have a light, refreshing summer dish. Serve it alone or pair with a pork chop as I did for dinner.

Enjoy tomatoes while they are still grown in the field. Winter will be here soon and there will be only hot house tomatoes. That’s when I take my tomato hiatus
