    Tomato-and-Mozzarella Pitas


    Source of Recipe


    Mai

    List of Ingredients




    4 medium ripe unpeeled tomatoes cut into 24-1/4-inch slices
    5 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese -- cut into 12 slices
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
    1/2 cup red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
    1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt
    3 large cloves garlic -- minced
    6 pita bread rounds -- (6-inch)
    6-8 fresh sweet basil leaves

    Recipe



    Arrange tomato and cheese slices in a single layer in a shallow dish. Combine basil and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Drizzle over tomato and cheese slices. Cover and chill 1 hour.

    Split open top half of each pita bread round, and line with a sweet basil leaves. Fill each with 4 slices tomato and 2 slices cheese. NOTES : Fresh mozzarella cheese is a soft white cheese with a delicate, mild flavor, which is very different from the firm, stringy type of mozzarella you probably buy for pizza. It might also be called Baby Mozerella.
