Kim Milan Caprese

An authentic Italian caprese made by briefly blanching ripe tomatoes, peeling them, and layering with mozzarella, basil, and olive oil

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The tomato should be fully ripe, red, and soft so that just 30 seconds of blanching makes the skin easy to peel.
  • Rather than overusing balsamic vinegar, the key is to highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients with good-quality extra virgin olive oil and just salt.
  • Using 1 tomato and 1 mozzarella, cutting each into 8 pieces fits neatly on both sides of a plate for 2 servings.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to serve an atmospheric appetizer for guests or a home party.
  • Those who want to enjoy a sophisticated Italian salad with minimal cooking.
  • Those looking for finger food or a light snack to pair with wine.
