Grilled Caprese Salad

• 1 pound beef steak tomatoes
• 1 pound fresh mozzarella
• 2 sprigs fresh basil Genovese is nice and sweet, but other varieties are great
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic Aged, aged balsamic should be thick and sticky, if this is out of your budget you can buy a less expensive kind and simmer it a sauce pot to reduce it and concentrate the flavor
• granulated garlic
• salt

1. Warm grill pan on medium heat.
2. Slice fresh Mozz and set aside.
3. Wash basil and set aside.
4. Wash tomatoes and slice into 1/2 inch thick slices.
5. Brush tomatoes on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic.
6. Put tomatoes in grill pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Don' t get carried away because over-cooked tomatoes will fall apart.
7. Assemble the salad by layering tomatoes and mozzarella alternately.
8. Cut basil into ribbons and sprinkle on the salad.
9. Finish my drizzling balsamic over the top.
