Heirloom Tomato Salad Crisped Capers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup oil in small pan over medium-high heat. Add capers but be careful, they will spatter. Fry the capers 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until golden, drain on paper towels.
• Combine remaining 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil with garlic and anchovy paste. Add tomatoes, onion, parsley and olives. Season with red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Garnish with capers and serve.

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. Generously season the tomato slices with salt. Arrange the tomato slices on a platter, overlapping slightly. Add the Burrata on top and garnish with torn basil leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add capers and fry, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer capers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Fry basil in batches in same skillet until crisp, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper-towel lined plate and season with salt. Let oil in pan cool slightly.
• Toss cucumber, tomatoes, onion, vinegar, fried capers, and 1/4 cup warm caper-basil oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Vigorously rub one side of hot toasts with garlic, then top with tomato mixture. Top with fried basil leaves and serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoons of the oil in a small saute pan over medium high heat. Add the capers and cook until crisp, 1-2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to drain.
• Place the tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, add the basil, season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to coat.
• Sprinkle the capers on the salads after they're plated so they stay crisp. Enjoy!
