~209~ tomato sliders
I was pretty lucky to get taken out to an amazing dinner in the private room at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, a farm-to-table, market/season-driven restaurant in Pocantico Hills in Westchester County. I'd been there once before two years ago in the winter, for a birthday dinner, and since the menu is seasonally focused there were lots of root vegetables and heavier meats.
I was really excited to go back in the peak of summer with the amazing bounty of produce available, and the meal didn't disappoint. The vegetables were all so intensely flavorful, and one of our collective favorites of the night were these tomato sliders. It's either roasted or confited heirloom tomatoes in a little slider bun, and it was the most amazing, concentrated flavor of tomato in your mouth. If you imagine having all the things you love about a tomato - sweet, tangy, moist, fresh all magnified one hundred times in one bite, that's what this slider was like.
How I wish I could have it again.
