The best tomato

We recommend fresh "marinated tomatoes" as a companion to a tomato-based evening drink. It's simple, but it brings out the flavor of the ingredients and goes well with alcohol. Here is a detailed recipe. --- Marinated Tomato Recipe [Ingredients] (Serves 2-3) 3-4 ripe tomatoes (choose the type you like) 3-4 tablespoons olive oil 1-2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar or lemon juice Salt to taste Black pepper to taste Several leaves of fresh basil (torn by hand) (Optional) Thinly sliced red onion or mini mozzarella cheese [How to make] 1. Preparing the tomatoes Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. If you don't like the skin, you can peel them before cutting them to make them smoother. 2. Prepare the seasoning Put olive oil, balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and mix well. Adding thinly sliced garlic will enhance the flavor. 3. Marinate Add chopped tomatoes (and red onion and mozzarella if you like) to the seasoning and mix lightly so that the flavors are well mixed. Marinate in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in thoroughly. 4. Finishing and plating Once the marinade is done, serve in a dish and sprinkle with fresh basil to finish. It's a simple dish, but it has an excellent balance of the sweetness and sourness of the ingredients and the richness of the olive oil. --- Recommended drinks Light white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay) Sake (especially dry) Beer (light lager type) This tomato marinade is easy to make and allows you to fully enjoy the fresh flavor of tomatoes. It's great as a companion to your evening drinks or as an appetizer, so please give it a try.
