Just to make Pete Wells shudder in horror, I'm going to give you the details about the tomato sandwich I had for lunch today. It was made with one of these gorgeous, organically grown Brandywine tomatoes thusly:
1 beautiful Brandywine tomato, sliced thickly
2 slices of really good whole wheat bread
2 teaspoons full fat mayonnaise (Aw, go ahead, use more!)
2 slices turkey bacon, cooked (turkey bacon cancels out the fat from the mayo. Maybe.)
A few sprinkles of Maldon Sea Salt
2 fresh basil leaves1 beautiful Brandywine tomato, sliced thickly
2 slices of really good whole wheat bread
2 teaspoons full fat mayonnaise (Aw, go ahead, use more!)
2 slices turkey bacon, cooked (turkey bacon cancels out the fat from the mayo. Maybe.)
A few sprinkles of Maldon Sea Salt
Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
Place two slices of tomato on one piece of the bread. Sprinkle with a touch of salt.
Place the 2 strips of bacon over the tomatoes.
Place another 2 tomatoe slices on top of the bacon. Sprinkle with another touch of salt.
Place a basil leaf on the top of each tomato slice.
Cover with the second slice of bread.
Eat. Slurp. Munch. Mmmmm!
Oops. Forgot to take a photo of that.

Actually, all this silliness is because I haven't prepared anything very blog worthy in the last few days. But I am preparing recipes from some of my favorite food bloggers. In the tomato department, I'm making a batch of Kalyn's Slow Roasted Tomatoes plus some of her incredible looking Sausage and Basil Marinara Sauce. Both of these will be "put by" for the winter. And as a special dinner for my sweetie and my son, I'm going to make the Poulet aux Noix from Michelle's Je Mange La Ville, about which I am very excited.
Stay tuned.
Your Brandywine tomatoes are gorgeous. I hope you like the roasted tomatoes and the marinara sauce as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteHi there Kalyn! I know I'm going to like them both. After all, they're your recipes so I know I'm in good hands.
ReplyDeleteWhat great looking tomatoes! I am going to stay tuned to check out the upcoming "Poulet aux Noix"...how lucky for your son!Grear photos....
ReplyDeleteI saw one of my words was misspelled.....sorry about that! GREAT photos.......
ReplyDeleteHi Jann. I wouldn't worry about any typos in light of the one I made in this post - tomatoe. Yuk! I really hate it when I do that.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you visit Michelle's site for her Poulet aux Noix as I copied the recipe directly. And, it was delicious! Post coming.
I thought of you today, Christine, as I made a very similar sandwich on fresh onion-herb bread!
ReplyDeleteHi mimi, tomato on onion-herb bread sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteSher, yes I had another one today only this time I used leftover, thinly sliced chicken with it. It was glorious!
Are you going to post about your vegan adventure? I'd love to hear about it. I have a son and daughter-in-law who are very happily vegan. Not sure I could do it though.
Those tomatoes are just like the ones on a plate on my counter. Perfectly juicy and ripe. Uh, got to go now. I'm making myself hungry!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me.
