There is simply nothing more delicious than produce fresh from the farm. Â I have felt very lucky to live where vegetables are simply amazing when they are grown, Texas and New Jersey. Â These two places, I am convinced, have the best tomatoes in the world! Â This recipe is something I came up with, and I think just elevates the natural flavors of these incredible gifts. Â Make and enjoy!!
