Ingredients

12 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, seeds (not cores) removed
1/4 cup good olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces fresh salted mozzarella
12 fresh basil leaves, julienned

Directions

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.

Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with the garlic, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 2 hours until the tomatoes are concentrated and begin to caramelize. Allow the tomatoes to cool to room temperature.

Cut the mozzarella into slices slightly less than 1/2-inch thick. If the slices of mozzarella are larger than the tomatoes, cut the mozzarella slices in half. Layer the tomatoes alternately with the mozzarella on a platter and scatter the basil on top. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Serve at room temperature.

Fresh tasting and full of flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so easy to make and tastes just as good as using summer tomatoes. It is exciting to be able to make tomato caprese... salad any time of the year and enjoy it. I made it for my husband's birthday last March and he loved it and there were no left overs. I used one package of splenda instead of 2 teaspoons of sugar. Read more

For Tomato and Mozzerella salad lovers.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I enjoy watching Ina whenever possible so when I saw her make this recipe I knew I wanted to try it. It is very simple to... make and it does turn up the flavor volume on your basic Caprese salad. My boyfriend loves this recipe so it was a huge hit it is very simple but you could certainly entertain with it. Another delicious recipe!!Read more
