This is a simple, yet very delicious way to serve tomatoes; enjoy this with a nice slice of cheese; a glass of your favorite wine and a nice crusty loaf of bread.
It is still warm and beautiful out. A few more nights to sit outside and enjoy a nice meal.
While enjoying the last few weeks that are left to dine al fresco, I prepared this fresh tomato cutlet antipasto to accompany a simple pasta dish I made. It was well received with friends and family.
This dish never goes out of style. It is fresh, always in season and simple to make.
