1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash the heirloom tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Arrange them on a serving plate.
2
Make the Pangrattato
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and sauté until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
3
Prepare the Tonnato Sauce
If using store-bought tonnato sauce, skip this step. To make your own, blend together canned tuna, mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
4
Assemble the Dish
Drizzle the tonnato sauce over the tomatoes. Scatter the caper leaves and fresh basil on top. Finish with the crispy pangrattato for added texture.
5
Serve
Serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
