Stacked Tomatoes With Tarragon Infused Oil image

A beautiful beginning to any kick off a Dinner Party. Using gorgeous summer heirloom tomatoes. A mandolin is perfect to slice the vegetables in this but a good sharp knife will do the trick. Store bought Black Olive Tapenade is OK but is better home made so do take a look at recipes on zaar. Serve with a fresh loaf of crusty bread.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up.
