mozarella e pomodori

A popular Italian salad. I've seen this many times as a side but have also eaten this on numerous occasions a a meal of its own. One of the simplest things you can do- get equal parts tomatoes and mozzarella (cherry or grape tomatoes and this type of mozzarella are called ciliegini). Toss in a bowl with fresh basil (or dried oregano), olive oil, a touch of vinegar if you like, salt and cracked pepper. Perfect with some toasted bread or just as is.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
