A hot relish spooned over mozzarella warms the cheese to melting tenderness. Try the recipe with brothy soups such as minestrone or kale and white bean.
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (4 tsp.)
  • 1 26-oz. jar roasted red peppers, rinsed, drained, and cut into 2-inch strips
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 4-oz. balls fresh mozzarella, each cut into 6 slices
  • 6 large slices French bread, toasted

1. Cut small X on bottom of each tomato, and place in bowl. Cover with boiling water, and let stand 1 minute. Drain, then peel and chop tomatoes.

2. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, roasted red peppers, honey, rosemary, bay leaf, and tomatoes. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes.
