Browned-Butter Tomatoes and Basil.

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup butter

  • 1 handful of basil leaves

  • 5 tomatoes (sliced approx 1/4” thick)

  • salt and pepper to taste

Place sliced tomatoes on serving platter and reserve. Brown butter with basil over medium heat. Let the butter get to a dark brown colour just before it burns. At the very moment of serving the dish, spoon the sizzling hot butter over tomatoes to create an ohhh-ahhhh experience for your guests and add salt and fresh cracked pepper. This is served best as a side salad with bread for soaking up the basil butter.
