Over the past few weeks I have been enjoying a lot of the locally grown field tomatoes. Late summer is the best time to enjoy the perfectly ripe field tomatoes as they are nice and juicy and full of flavour. The hot house tomatoes that you can get year round are nice enough but they simply do not compare to the field tomatoes at this time of year and I have been taking advantage of them. As tasty as the field ripened tomatoes are, I often like to roast them to concentrate their flavour even more. Roasted tomatoes make for some really tasty pasta sauces but this time I was looking for something a little different and I combined them with another of my favourites, the caprese salad. I kept the balsamic roasted tomato caprese salad nice and simple and it did not disappoint! The warm roasted tomatoes were full of flavour and they started to melt the fresh mozzarella making it seem like it was melting in your mouth!
