Not the usual caprese, but a reinterpretation of the typical appetizer that features stringy mozzarella cheese, plus shellfish for garnish. Caravella's not-to-be-missed recipe.
Ingredients for 4 people
- 4 slices of bread (stale)
- 300 g salad tomatoes or S. Marzano tomatoes
- 4 slices of fior di latte mozzarella cheese
- Basil leaves to taste
- Oregano q.b fresh and dried
- Extra oil q.b.
- Reindeer salt and pepper
- 1 amberjack filet and 4 jumbo shrimps
Procedure
Cut four slices of bread without the crust and four slices of mozzarella cheese with a circumference of 8 cm. with a height of 3 cm.
In a nonstick pan pour oil and cook thinly sliced tomatoes (to speed up the process), julienned basil, a branch of fresh oregano and salt. Continue for 2 minutes, adding ½ ladle of hot water.
In a hot oven at 160°C (350°F), place slices of bread with mozzarella cheese on top and a drizzle of oil in a porcelain pan; let heat just long enough to melt the mozzarella.
Serve the bread and mozzarella in the center of the plate; lay the tomato and amberjack filet on top.
