PAN SEARED TOMATOES WITH MELTED MOZZARELLA
Pan seared tomatoes with basil and melted mozzarella sings on many nodes like a warm caprese salad. Tomatoes when pan seared release natural sweetness and wonderful tangy flavor. Addition of a pinch of sugar balances out the tomatoes acidity. Tomatoes and basil were always perfect together and melted cheese on top makes this a perfect savory side dish. Serve it with grilled chicken or lamb or with toasted rustic artesian bread.
