I love tomatoes. I could eat ‘em like an apple. They make any dish better, in my opinion, but after my 37 years on Earth, I think I’ve finally found my favorite way to consume them. We need a catchier name than ‘One Hour Maters,’ but it’s the best I have at the moment. Smash the play button on the video above to watch me make it. Or, if you don’t give a shit about that, here’s the recipe.

What You’ll Need

• 1 tomato
• ‘bout half a thing of cherry tomatoes (I use the Nature Sweets – I used the Constellations in this video)
• Salt
• Fresh basil
• Pistachios
• Little bit of olive oil
• Little bit of lemon juice
• Black pepper (optional)
• Garlic powder (optional)

How to Do It

1. Slice the tomato to your liking.
2. Take the cherry tomatoes and slice each one in half.
3. Arrange the tomato slices on a platter. Fill in the spaces around the slices with the sliced cherry tomatoes.
4. Sprinkle some salt over the tomatoes.
5. If you’re using black pepper and/or garlic powder, now’s the time to sprinkle it over your tomatoes too.
6. Drizzle with olive oil (I always end up tipping the bottle over a little too much).
7. Spritz with a little bit of lemon juice (careful, too much can fuck this salad to hell).
8. Tear a few leaves of fresh basil up and sprinkle it over the “salad.”
9. You can throw the pistachios in a food processor before you include them if you want, but I like the whole things so I just sprinkle those over the dish.
10. Let sit for an hour – that salt is going to cause the juices to rise up out of the tomatoes. In addition to having a rich flavor, it’s going to be JUICY juicy. As a pro-tip, you could totally throw some fresh mozzarella on top of this too. Also, as you’ll see in the video, I’m not going to judge if you take a few nibbles of this before the hour is up. This is my favorite way to eat a tomato.
