Hear me out on this one because the idea of a sandwich solely based around the humble tomato, combined with mayo, may sound weird but is actually a thing in the Southern states of America and here the twist of adding capers and using sandwich bread fried in curry powder in oil elevates the final dish into something quite spectacular and sophisticated I really didn't expect!
The key here is to invest in the best of the late summer tomatoes - watery supermarket toms won't do the job here, you won't regret it - really this may just be my new favourite sandwich!
