Gentle warm tomato vinaigrette
Yields 2
Sometimes at the beginning of the tomato harvest, we might come home with one single plump gem. Later during the slam, we will set aside one fruit before using the rest fresh. Either way, cook takes the honor of rescuing the 1/2 cup of tomato and enjoying the rest of that single prize on its own. With a grain of salt. Whilst sitting on kitchen stool to offer blessing, about to let fly with knives and spoons.
