Introduction

This recipe showcases the freshest, ripest summer tomatoes you can find. The only cooking involved is warming a bit of olive oil, which infuses the herbs and takes the raw edge off the tomato.

Ingredients

4 large ripe tomatoes, to yield about 4 cups, chopped
1/4 cup good extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (packed) finely sliced fresh basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste

Directions

Core the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes crosswise in half and squeeze out the seeds. Chop the tomatoes. Transfer to a large bowl and add basil.

Place the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat the oil until it shimmers but doesn't bubble or smoke.

Quickly but carefully pour the warm olive oil over the tomatoes (careful: the oil may spatter). Serve right away, over pasta if desired.
