FAWLTY TOWERS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil.
• Core the tomatoes, and then make a small"X" on the bottom (flower) end.
• Drop them into the boiling water, removing when the skins begin to loosen, about 30 seconds.
• Drain, and then immediately submerge in cool water.
• When cool, peel each tomato and slice horizontally into four or five slices.
• Sprinkle each slice with salt, pepper and sherry vinegar.
• On individual plates, reassemble the tomatoes with the flat side down, putting a basil leaf or two between each layer.
• Surround with a little basil oil, sprinkle with a bit more salt, and garnish with fresh basil.
