Mli-Mlo:A Muddle And Medley Of

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Mli-Mlo is a wonderful French word which simply translated means a mixture, medley, assortment. selection or to use the old English word, a Muddle! This is a simple and yet stunning tomato salad, which relies heavily on assorted sun-ripened tomatoes, sea salt, herbs and good olive oil. It makes a "stand-alone" meal or a wonderful accompaniment. The tomatoes used in the salad in my photographs were good old fashioned heirloom tomatoes called: Pineapple yellow and mottled red inside - sweet and fruity flavoured, Black Krim black-ish skin and dark purple inside - tangy taste, Marmande Traditional French toms with a beefy taste and texture, Brandywine dark Bordeaux colour with superb flavour, Moneymaker traditional English toms - a gardener's favourite - full of flavour and Auriga medium orange tom with a sharp and tangy flavour. Try to use a selection of different shapes, colours and flavours when you make this salad. Do NOT omit the salting process it is essential to this recipe as it brings out the flavours to their fullesttrust me; this salad is NOT salty as the salt drains away with the excess tomato juices! Serve this with grilled artisanal breads such as boule, couronne, ciabatta, cottage loaf, home-made breads or crusty rolls. Grilled cheese or fresh goats cheese is also a wonderful addition to this salad. Alternatively, serve it alongside grilled or barbecued meats or with pasties, pies or quiches it really is simply delicious just by itself however!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Cut, Dice and Slice Your Assorted Tomatoes - Making Sure That There Are Plenty of Different Shapes, Sizes and Colours of Tomatoes Available. I Like to Leave Small Cherry Tomatoes Whole, and Then Slice Large Tomatoes, Whilst Dicing and Cubing Medium and Round Tomatoes - Try to Make the Salad Look "textured"!

    2
    Done

    Place the Sliced and Diced Tomatoes Into a Large Colander. Sprinkle Over Some Sea Salt - not Too Much, About 1/4 Teaspoon, Then Shake the Tomatoes Gently and Sprinkle Over Some More Sea Salt. Do This One More Time and Allow Them to Sit For 15 to 30 Minutes in a Sink or Over a Bowl.

    3
    Done

    Transfer the Tomatoes to a Large Attractive Serving Bowl or Platter, and Sprinkle Over Your Choice of Chopped Fresh or Dried Herbs, See Above in the Ingredients List.

    4
    Done

    Make the Dressing Using One Part Vinegar to Three Parts Olive Oil, Then Add the Minced Garlic and Some Freshly Ground Black Pepper - Taste and Adjust the Seasoning; Salt Should not Be Needed as the Tomatoes Will Have Some Residual Salt Left - but Add Salt to the Dressing If You Feel It Is Needed.

    5
    Done

    Drizzle the Dressing Over the Tomatoes and Chopped Herbs and Then Decorate the Salad With Whole Herb Leaves and Flowers, Serve Immediately.

    6
    Done

    If You Are Transporting This Salad to a Picnic, Decant the Dressing Into a Bottle and Only Dress the Salad Just Before Serving and Eating It.

    7
    Done

    Serve With Assorted Crusty and Artisanal Breads and Rolls For Ease of juice Mopping!
