Nothing we like better than serving up tomatoes to the growers…
Had the folks in from Village Farms for dinner, so naturally…
we put together a couple of tomatoes with burrata from Apulia to get them started…
and they brought me some very cool samples of a bitter green tomato…
which Chef Stewart jumped on immediately, grilled them and topped them with Prosciutto Crudo and Qualicum Scallops over a broken tomato vinaigrette- I think the sweet tones of the prosciutto and scallop worked beautifully with the crisp, bitter green tomato –
(I ate one too, but I didn’t charge you guys for that one, hehe )
from there we went on to sushi and savoury dishes, but there weren’t any tomatoes in those courses so we’re not going to talk about them…
Amazing evening! thanks Chef!
