Recipe and storage

Recipe idea

From garden to table

Recipe idea for your Patio F1 tomato harvest. For a salad where the tomatoes take center stage, cut the ripe fruit into wedges or thick slices and arrange them in a shallow dish. Finely slice a small shallot, then add it along with a few hand-torn basil leaves. Whisk olive oil with a little apple cider vinegar and drizzle this dressing over just before serving. Add salt gradually to keep the fruit's flavor at the forefront. If desired, add pieces of fresh cheese and toasted bread. Spoon the juices from the bottom of the dish over the final bites. The size of the fruit determines how to cut it: keep small fruit bite-sized and divide large tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last minute to fresh dishes. For cooking, use a fairly wide surface so the juice can evaporate.
