2 lbs Tomatoes
6 slices (your favorite) bacon
Handful baby arugula, shredded.
3 egg yolks
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon cajun spice mix
1 Tablespoon Curry
1 Garlic clove
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup canola oil
Rice vinegar
Juice of 1/2 lemon

1
Prepare the tomatoes by slicing them or cutting them into chunks, depending on your intended presentation.
2
I like to salt them and put them in a strainer after slicing in order to de-water them and concentrate their flavors.
3
Marinate the tomatoes for an hour or more.
4
I use a simple 1/3 cup olive oil + rice vinegar, but you could be more adventurous if you like.
5
Cook and drain the bacon slices.
6
Prepare the aioli: Put the eggs yolks, garlic, curry, cajun spices, lemon juice in a food processor, then slowly pour/emulsify in the olive and canola oils.
7
To finish: Drain the tomatoes from their marinade and arrange them, then add the shredded arugula, layer on the bacon slices and top with the aioli.
