Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 cups buttermilk
2 cups Arborio Rice coating, recipe follows
6 red onions, thickly sliced, loosely separated into rings
8 cups peanut oil
4 vine-ripened tomatoes
Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, to drizzle
1/2 cup basil leaves, julienne
Balsamic vinegar, to drizzle
1 cup crumbled blue cheese, frozen
Onion Rings:
1 cup Arborio rice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup semolina
2 tablespoons table salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl spread out the rice coating. Take onion rings and coat with buttermilk, and then cover with coating, shaking off excess. Place coated rings on a tray.
In a large deep saucepan, heat peanut oil to 375 degrees F. With a slotted wire spoon, carefully lower the coated rings into pan to fry. Do the rings in small batches to allow oil to remain a consistent temperature. Place fried rings on a paper towel on a tray to dry.
Tomato Stack:
Cut a small slice from the bottom of the tomatoes - enough so that they will stand. Slice the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices (about 2 or 3), leaving the stem on top.
Season the slices with salt and pepper to taste, drizzle with olive oil.
Place the basil leaves in between the tomato slices, and re-stack tomato. Serve re-stacked tomatoes around a larger stack of onion rings in center of a large serving plate. Drizzle more olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Grate the frozen blue cheese over top.
Grind the rice in a blender until very fine. Put it in a bowl and add the all-purpose flour, semolina, salt and pepper. Toss until well blended. Store in a sealed container in the freezer for maximum freshness.

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 medium heirloom tomatoes, wedged (I like mixing green, deep purple, yellow and orange)
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, either in bite size balls (Bocconcini)
4 ounces kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
12 leaves fresh basil, torn
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
sea salt
cracked pepper

Steps:

In a wooden salad bowl toss all ingredients together.
Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
Serve immediately.

Tips:

Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The better the tomatoes, the better the salad will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep in color and have no blemishes.
Use fresh mozzarella cheese. Fresh mozzarella is softer and more flavorful than regular mozzarella. If you can't find fresh mozzarella, you can use shredded mozzarella, but the salad won't be as good.
Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella thinly. This will help them to absorb the dressing better and make the salad easier to eat.
Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. Balsamic vinegar is the key ingredient in the dressing, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the tomatoes to absorb the dressing.

Conclusion:

Sliced Heirloom Tomato Stack with Mozzarella Cheese is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you prefer a simple dressing or a more complex one, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
