One Last Seasonal Fling with Tomatoes
My favorite tomatoes are the tiniest, cherry-sized ones, called “sweet 100s” and since their appearance is fleeting, I’m gorging myself. For a throw together meal, I use Julia Child’s method of macerating (softening) tomatoes in oil, vinegar and seasonings for about 10 minutes, then spoon them over packaged tortellini. This recipe would also be fantastic over grilled bread.

Ripe red tomatoes, peeled, seeded, cut into ½-inch dice, and placed in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, adding drops of vinegar and olive oil; toss with a little finely minced shallot. Let macerate for 10 minutes or longer, folding several times. Just before using, correct seasoning, fold in chopped fresh parsley.
