Tomato, mozzarella, basil stackers

Tomato, mozzarella, basil stackers

As you may have seen before in previous blogs I have made salads before with mozzarella, tomato, balsamic etc. But today an idea popped in my head as I was preparing for an impromptu BBQ with the Rutherfords. In my hand I had some tomato, mozzarella, basil & my stacking rings. I know I’ll do a salad, but let’s stack the salad using using my rings. Therein was created tomato, mozzarella, basil stackers

A vertical tomato, mozzarella, basil stackers salad – pretty damn impressive I think.

You will ultimately need food stacking rings or something equivalent – or you could even try this with a very steady hand.

Go on give it a go.

You will need the following ingredients – basically add more if you want more individual servings:

• 10 tomatoes thinly sliced;
• 1 packets of sweet basil;
• 3 packets of buffalo mozzarella thinly sliced;
• 1 bottle of good quality Balsamic vinegar;
• Olive oil; and
• Salt and cracked black pepper.

So flipping easy, so impressive, and the taste…

Well that my friends is over to you to decide…

In the stacker ring goes;

1. Sliced tomato;
2. Slice of cheese;
3. Couple of ripped basil leaves;
4. Sliced tomato;
5. Slice of cheese;
6. Couple of ripped basil leaves;
7. Slice of tomato;
8. A little basil leaf;
9. Remove the stacker ring;
10. A drizzle of olive oil;
11. A drizzle of Balsamic vinegar;
12. A sprinkle of salt and pepper.

That is it.

I have to admit I do like my tomatoes a little saltier, so of course I add more salt.

So again the principals of my cooking apply. If you like something more as an ingredient, well go ahead and add more. Have a taste. If it works you – change the recipe and make it yours.

Try it. Make your own tomato, mozzarella, basil stackers.

I served on a serving platter – about 4 at a time.

They truly did look amazing.

They all disappeared, so must have been good.

I have to admit – bloody good!

Tomato, mozzarella, basil stackers – Enjoy!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
