Here’s a super simple appetizer that’s perfect for summer! We’ve been growing heirloom tomatoes every summer, and that’s is what inspired this dish. Normally I like to grow heirloom cherry tomatoes, but because of the pandemic this year, I didn’t venture beyond one of our grocery stores to pick up my seedlings. My tomatoes are just started to ripen, and this was a perfect way to eat them.
If faced with multiple options for picking out Prosciutto di Parma (example: 14-month vs 18-month) pick up the more aged Prosciutto. The flavor is richer and more complex.
