Ingredients
2 - 4 Heirloom tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar, reduced
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Directions
(1) Reduce the vinegar: In a small saucepan bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook until reduced by about half.
(2) Prepare the vegetables: Wash, dry, and slice the tomatoes into wedges. Chop the chives.
Make-ahead note: At this point, you may set the ingredients aside until you are ready to serve. Do not refrigerate tomatoes as they will lose some of their good taste.
(3) Finish: Put the tomato wedges on a serving plate, drizzle with the cooled balsamic reduction, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chives.
(4) Serve: Serve immediately.
