A Big Tomato Sandwich


This was a great sandwich, and just what the title implies ~ a big ole sandwich! We got the recipe from the cookbook Local Flavors: Cooking and Eating from America's Farmers' Markets by Deborah Madison. It's a really great book. The sandwich was yummy. It was on a loaf of ciabatta bread and had tomatoes, bell pepper & mozzarella on it plus a tasty herb vinaigrette we whipped up. The loaf of bread we got wasn't as round as would have been ideal; it was more oblong, but it still worked out ok. I sliced the top off, took out some of the bread, put the dressing on and then added the items. The leftovers kept pretty good; just the bottom bread got a little soggy from the dressing, but not bad at all. I'm sure we'll have this again. Especially with all the nice big tomatoes and peppers that are available at our Farmers Market right now.
