Red Tomato Rose Garnish
 Recipe reprinted with permission from Fine Dinings.
"an impressive sculptured garnish to set on the plate, so simple to do, can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated"
medium-sized red ripe tomatoes, one per person
Using a sharp paring knife, start at the top of the tomato, cutting the skin approximately 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch wide in a continuous unbroken strip, making the cuts jagged and wavy as your knife goes around the tomato.
Coil the tomato, skin side out, around a thin object such as a pencil or chopstick until it resembles a rose flower. Turn it over (upside down) and place one off to the side on each dinner plate and serve with your main entree.
Fine Dinings is a fabulous resource for elegant menus and recipes. Many of the recipes feature beautiful and mouthwatering photos and the recipes are top notch.
