    I make a very similar dish as a dinner during the summer. I add in some sliced and halved cucumbers to the tomatoes and bread, with a dressing of just red wine vinegar and olive oil, and maybe some chicken thighs if I'm feeling like it, all finished a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a bunch of basil. Always a hit in the household!

    Great tip about draining the tomatoes! I wish I had known that when I tried making your corn salad with seasonal heirlooms and other types of fresh tomatoes because when I arrived at the cook-out I went to, there was just a pool of tomato juices at the bottom of the bowl. I'll definitely keep this tip in mind for future tomato salads.

    Man, I was hoping that some of the channels I watch to take up the mantle of showing all of us who have crops coming in some good recipes. So far, you’re the only one. I don’t measure anything either. Baking may be a science but cooking can be a jam. Practical, fresh and definitely anyone can do this. Kenji is always covering the best of the basics. I love that this is the kind of thing you can toss in in the side if you have way too many tomatoes that you have no idea why to do with. I know I do.

  • @klaasvdm
    @klaasvdm Před 3 lety

    The idea of salting before, and using the juice for the dressing is brilliant. But I also think the salad is supposed to get soggy, otherwise the big hunks of bread are unedible. But, this should happen while serving and eating, not before, so the texture changes during the meal. So, you could also store the tomatoes and bread separately and mix them when ordered. My two cents.

    Edit: my recipe i always do, is a little bit different: no emulsion, because the bread soaks all the juices, so why should I?! We use cucumber in addition and it fits perfectly. I can recommend white balsamic vinegar. This gives a nice mix of acid and sweet. I love Ethans pickled red onion but in this salad I always use ordinary red onions like the Italians do and it’s very nice and sharp!

      @noah99715 Před 3 lety

      It seems he goes for egg-based dishes like Frittata and Omelettes as a "throw everything you have left in it". Personally I go for pizzas, if you don't have dough, use tortillas and cook them in the oven, you can make a bunch of different themed ones to really make certain ingredients shine. Salads work great too, pick a green base and throw everything you've got in. You can use grilled cheeses, quesadillas, or other bread/dough + cheese + random filling type meals as well. Great for getting rid of various meat or to sautee up some veg and throw in.

      Very old beans will not get soft, no matter what technique is used to prepare it. Also if you have hard water or chlorinated water will make softening more difficult. Avoid using acidic ingredients (lemon juice, tomatoes, vinegar and even molasses) before beans are soft.
