Mozzarella with tomatoes will certainly become a bright decoration of your table and an unusual treat for guests. It is prepared simply and quickly, and, most importantly, it is very healthy and tasty.
What do you know about mozzarella? Surely quite a bit. We, the Russian people, like the usual “Russian”, “Poshekhonsky”, “Monastic” cheeses. I can say for sure, if you do not use this most useful dairy product for food, you lose not only an unforgettable taste experience, but also a lot of useful trace elements for your body.
The birthplace of mozzarella Italy, it was here near Naples that they came up with this very simple, but incredibly delicious cheese recipe. It consists of only three ingredients: whole milk, a little salt and live enzymes. This very delicate and soft cheese has a lot of useful properties. It is saturated with vitamins A and D, which has a good effect on the skin, hair, and bone tissue. Essential amino acids and microelements in mozzarella help immunity, and polysaccharides give your skin elasticity and amazing appearance. If this were not so, I think it is unlikely that every Italian would eat about 25 kg of mozzarella per year.
So, what dishes with mozzarella can you cook at home? But there are actually a lot of them. One of the simplest dishes that can be served as a snack is mozzarella with tomatoes. This combination of bright colors looks very cool, and the flavor combination of cheese and tomato is perhaps the most successful. For this dish you need only two large tomatoes, two large balls of mozzarella, a few leaves of basil or rucola.
Cut the tomatoes into circles with a thickness of about 1 cm, the same thickness should be plastic mozzarella. Lay on a plate in a circle with a fan circles of tomato and cheese alternately, you can salt and pour a little olive oil. On top of each circle of tomatoes, put on a leaf of basil or ruccola for beauty and color. Well, here is your beautiful, delicious simple tomato mozzarella appetizer ready!
I’m sure that pizza, with mozzarella and tomato filling, will also appeal to many. You can make the dough yourself, but I prefer to buy a ready-made pizza mix, which must be poured with kefir, mix, roll. Place the thinly rolled dough on a baking sheet, pre-lubricating it with sunflower oil. Cut the tomatoes into thin circles, and mozzarella can be in small cubes. Lubricate the base of the pizza with some sauce, best of all pesto, so that you get a truly Italian pizza. Now lay the tomatoes and mozzarella on the base, you can decorate with some greens. All, send to the oven for 15-20 minutes. Pizza will be a great treat for friends. To it you can serve a variety of drinks, juice, Coca-Cola, beer.
