Got tomatoes? How
about a tomato sandwich? This is the
perfect tomato sandwich that was made famous in the movie Midnight in the Garden
of Good Savannah , Georgia
Bread
Use thin slices, whole wheat on the top and white on the
bottom. Cut the bread into circles with a biscuit cutter or other shapes with
cookie cutters that just fits your freshly picked tomato. I like to use a rim
from a mason large mouth mason jar.
Spread
Mix a little finely grated sweet onion (too much makes it
bitter). You really just want a little
juice from the onion so use the smallest grate on your grater. Add a teaspoon
and then taste and slowly add what you like to taste. Add black pepper and
Accent to your Hellmann's mayonnaise. No
other mayo will work or it is not her recipe. No measurements
here... make it to taste. Spread the bread a day ahead, cover and refrigerate. Don’t skimp on the Hellmann’s.
Tomatoes
Pick your tomatoes and clean them the same day you are going
to make the sandwich. Pick a nice round
ripe tomato that has ripened on the vine.
Carefully drop tomatoes in a big
pot of boiling water for 20 seconds. Immediately transfer to a big bowl or sink
of cold water.
Peel, slice as thin as the bread and drain thoroughly between
layers of paper towels. Soggy tomatoes make soggy sandwiches. Sprinkle the
tomatoes with Lawry's Seasoned Salt before assembling the sandwiches.
See if you don’t agree that this is the tastiest tomato
sandwich you have ever eaten. I like to use a good
heirloom tomato with a lot of flavor to make it even better.
It's a great day to play in the kitchen with it raining outside. The rain is making me very happy. Have a great day, be happy and may God bless you and yours.
