Method

  1. Take the mozzarella out of its brine and let it drain 5 minutes in a sieve — the brine is salty water that would thin the whole plate.
  2. Cut the tomatoes and the mozzarella into slices of the same thickness, about 1 cm.
  3. Arrange them on the plate alternately, overlapping.
  4. Trickle over olive oil and scatter with torn basil.
  5. Season with salt and pepper at the table. Salted tomatoes give out water within minutes and it would drown the basil and the mozzarella.
  6. Serve with rye bread.
