They were a versatile dish, for they could be served hot or cold, cooked or raw, and stuffed with a wide variety of fillings, depending on what leftovers were on hand or what was deemed suitable for the invited guests. These two recipes are very simple, so it’s important to use fullflavored tomatoes, preferably homegrown or from a local farm.
