Directions

    In a saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Once done, set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Slice the Tomatoes

    While the balsamic reduction cools, slice the Kawamata tomatoes into thick rounds and arrange them on a serving platter.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Drizzle olive oil over the sliced tomatoes, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Top with crispy onions and chunks of smoked mozzarella cheese.

  4. 4

    Finish with Balsamic Reduction

    Finally, drizzle the cooled balsamic reduction over the assembled dish for added flavor.

  5. 5
