Hey Salo, ever thought about a one‑ingredient dish that packs a lot of flavor? I'm into minimalism, but I'm curious how you'd make it shine.

Hey, I’ve actually been chewing on that idea lately! One of my favorites is a single, ripe heirloom tomato that you pan‑sear just until it turns a deep, caramel‑gold. No salt, no water, no butter—just the tomato’s own juices, and you’ll see the sugars bloom like a tiny fireworks show. The trick is the heat: start high, let it blister, then lower so it doesn’t fall apart. I’ve hit the wall a few times, too slow and it stays raw, too fast and it turns to mush, so I always feel a little self‑doubt before the final flip. But when it comes out, the flavor is so pure it’s almost like a celebration of the fruit itself. Give it a try and see if you can feel the subtle differences between each bite—minimalist, yet so full of life!

That sounds solid—just keep the pan hot enough to blister, then drop the heat before the juices separate. I’ll test a few temps and times and log the results. Thanks for the tip.
