this will be a really short post - just so you can see these lovely caprese salads that i made for us the other night. it is our favorite salad - made with tomatoes fresh off the vine and Sicilian buffala mozzarela that comes in a bag of some sort of liquid which i think is like a mild brine solution. the cheese is not salty and is extremely soft and fresh. i never had anything like it before coming here. when i lived in Germany i remember traveling and having caprese before, but i cannot remember it being this good!
the ingredients: pomodori (fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes), Siciliana buffala mozzerella, olio di oliva (olive oil - also much better fresh!), aceto balsamico di modena (balsamic vinegar from Modena - really delicious...), sale (sea salt - but we have not had a chance to buy any of the good stuff made right here in Sicily yet) e pepe (pepper - fresh ground)
oh, and fresh basil from my plant in the window sill! :-)
....and buono appetit
