The warmer weather here in New England is making me crave BLT's but there aren't any good garden tomatoes around!
If you're like me and won't buy off season tomatoes from the grocery store, but can't wait any longer for a decent traditional BLT, try this idea.
Blend a handful of organic grape tomatoes (they have a nice sweet tomato flavor and aren't mealy) in a food processor with a large basil leaf (or a few small ones), one small garlic clove, one very small shallot, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread that tomato mixture on your BLT and enjoy with other organic fillings or goodies from local farmers.
Can't wait for this to open so we can enjoy fresh garden tomatoes again!
