Edible parts

Ripe fruit
Recipe idea for your Caiman F1 tomato harvest. Assemble an open-faced sandwich with large slices of ripe tomato. Toast a thick slice of country bread sturdy enough to hold the juices without falling apart. Lightly rub the warm crumb with a garlic clove, then spread with fresh cheese or ricotta. Slice the tomato crosswise to reveal the flesh and seed chambers. Arrange the slices on the bread, drizzle with olive oil, and top with a few basil leaves. Season with salt at the last minute. For a more complete meal, serve the toast with a side of white bean and crisp leaf salad. The size of the fruit determines how to cut it: keep small tomatoes whole for bite-sized pieces and cut large ones into manageable chunks. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last moment to fresh preparations. For cooking, use a wide surface so the juice can evaporate.
