Heirloom Tomato Tartines with Garlic-Parsley Aioli image

You'll need a gorgeous ripe heirloom tomato for this summery open-faced sandwich. Cut a thick slice of it crosswise to reveal its trippy, tie-dye colors, and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Next comes our speedy aioli-smashed garlic and minced parsley stirred into your favorite store-bought mayonnaise. Layer it all on toasted brioche, and finish with sweet, crunchy pea shoots.

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 large heirloom or beefsteak tomato, cored and cut into 4 thick slices
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen, and pea shoots or sprouts (optional), for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together mayonnaise and Dijon. Sprinkle garlic with a pinch of kosher salt; mash to a paste with the side of a chef's knife. Stir into mayonnaise mixture, with parsley and lemon zest and juice; season with kosher salt and pepper.
