    This is a great way to take advantage of the fantastic tomatoes coming our way. It can be prepared simply in a bowl for family style dining, or artistically stacked on plates for a more elegant presentation.

    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs Tomatoes
    • 6 slices (your favorite) bacon
    • Handful baby arugula, shredded.
    • 3 egg yolks
    • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • 1 Tablespoon cajun spice mix
    • 1 Tablespoon Curry
    • 1 Garlic clove
    • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 1/3 cup canola oil
    • Rice vinegar
    • Juice of 1/2 lemon

    Directions

    1. Prepare the tomatoes by slicing them or cutting them into chunks, depending on your intended presentation. I like to salt them and put them in a strainer after slicing in order to de-water them and concentrate their flavors.
    2. Marinate the tomatoes for an hour or more. I use a simple 1/3 cup olive oil + rice vinegar, but you could be more adventurous if you like. Cook and drain the bacon slices. Prepare the aioli: Put the eggs yolks, garlic, curry, cajun spices, lemon juice in a food processor, then slowly pour/emulsify in the olive and canola oils. To finish: Drain the tomatoes from their marinade and arrange them, then add the shredded arugula, layer on the bacon slices and top with the aioli.
