Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 pound Sharlyn or Galia melon, rind removed, sliced into thin rounds
1 large heirloom tomato, sliced
12 ounces fresh burrata or mozzarella, torn
Olive oil (for drizzling)
Fresh basil leaves (for serving)
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl; add melon and toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove melon from pickling liquid and arrange on a platter with tomato and burrata. Drizzle with oil and some pickling liquid, top with basil, and season with sea salt and pepper.
  • Do ahead: Melon can be pickled 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, firm tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. Avoid tomatoes that are too soft or bruised.
  • Slice the tomatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and ensure that they absorb the pickling liquid properly.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add flavor and depth to the pickled tomatoes. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and chili peppers.
  • Make sure the pickling liquid is hot: This will help to kill any bacteria and ensure that the tomatoes are properly preserved.
  • Let the tomatoes pickle for at least 24 hours: This will give them time to absorb the flavors of the pickling liquid.
  • Store the pickled tomatoes in a cool, dark place: This will help them to keep their flavor and texture for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Pickled tomatoes are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are also a great way to preserve tomatoes when they are in season. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make your own pickled tomatoes at home. So next time you have a surplus of tomatoes, give this recipe a try!
