This is as close to Great Aunt Mabel's tomato dish as I can remember. She didn't write it down, she just made it in front of us and expected us to pick it up by osmosis I suppose. This really is so good. Now I have a chance to make it again.

This sounds great - I have tomatoes coming out my ears, I'll try this soon. = )

Chef, I made this again last week when my sister was visiting from the Deep South. She said she could close her eyes and taste Grandmother's cooking. That was the highest honor I could ever get. She said I have turned out to be a comprable cook to Grandmother. I've been so happy about that. Thanks again for finding this again for me.

This looks really good and I'm thinking that sour dough bread cubes would work well here! I love fresh basil and grow it every year....my husband groans when I put the tomato plants in but there's nothing like fresh tomatoes!
