Tomato

Among summer's blushing beauties, tomatoes are the sweetest. It's funny how, picked from straight from the vine, you can taste in your mouth how they are fruits. You can make a million meals following a simple rule: starch + tomato + herb + cheese/meat (optional).Toasted bread with tomato and bacon and lettuce or cheese and rosemary, spaghetti with tomato and basil and (fill in the blank), pizza crust with tomato and oregano and (fill in another blank). Even chickpeas or couscous with tomato and sausage or eggplant with tarragon, YUM! This version of starch+tomato+cheese came from a british baking book. I know it's british because they use liters and call cookies 'biscuits.' Here is the interpretation: tart crust with tomatoes and mozzarella.
