Notes
This is not only a great week-night meal it's also the perfect end of summer meal to enjoy the great produce still at the farmers markets. We particularly love the tomatoes from Garey Farms. If you stop by his booth tell him we say HI!
We love to layer both our Garlic Olive Oil and Basil Olive Oil into this recipe. It creates a delicious layering affect of flavor.
This makes a great side to bring to a backyard BBQ or a wonderful main dish for those week nights where it's still too hot to eat anything heavy.
