Edible parts

Ripe fruit

Recipe idea for your Pink Oxheart tomato harvest. Make an open-faced sandwich with large slices of ripe tomato. Toast a thick slice of country bread, thick enough to absorb the juice without falling apart. Lightly rub the warm bread with a garlic clove, then spread it with fresh cheese or ricotta. Cut the tomato crosswise to get slices that show the flesh and seed chambers of the fruit. Arrange them on the bread, add a drizzle of olive oil and a few basil leaves. Season with salt at the last minute. For a more complete meal, serve the open-faced sandwich with a salad of white beans and crisp greens. The size of the fruit dictates how it's cut: keep small fruits whole for bites and divide large tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh benefits from being added at the last minute to a fresh preparation. For cooking, use a surface wide enough for the juice to evaporate.
