Cette salade classique de l'Île de Capri, près de Naples n'utilise que 4 ingrédients. Des tomates goûteuses, de l'huile d'olive d'excellente qualité, du mozzarella et du basilic. On y ajoute du poivre noir fraîchement moulu et de la fleur de sel. C'est tout et c'est tout ce qu'il faut. J'ai modifié la recette un peu en passant mon basilic frais et l'huile d'olive au robot culinaire pour faire un pesto simplissime plutôt que de verser l'huile d'olive sur la salade et les feuilles entières de basilic et j'ai utilisé des perles de boconccini (mozzarella de lait de bufflonne en toutes petites perles). Et puisque j'avais de belles olives de Sicile, j'en ai ajouté quelques unes. Nous trouvons tout au long de l'année des plants de basilic frais. Ça sent bon les épices et ça met l'été dans l'assiette. Choisissez des tomates cerises sur vigne, ce sont les seules qui ont du goût à cette période de l'année.
This classic salad from the island of Capri, near Naples, only uses 4 ingredients. Vine-ripened tomatoes, excellent olive oil, mozzarella and basil. Seasonings are limited to freshly ground black pepper and fine sea salt. That's all and that's all that is needed. I modified the recipe a bit by blending the olive oil and fresh basil leaves in the processor to make a rough pesto instead of using the whole basil leaves and drizzling the olive oil on top of the salad and I used boconccini pearls (buffalo mozzarella) instead of the larger mozzarella balls. And since I had some nice Sicilian olives, I sprinkled a few on top of the salad. We can find some fresh basil plants throughout the year. The smell is heavenly and spicy and it's like adding summer to your plate. Choose vine ripened cherry tomatoes, they're the only fruit that have any taste at this time of year.
