I adore home grown tomatoes and I just gathered the last ones still clinging to the vine in my garden. The trouble is, I can't eat them fast enough and I don't want them to go to waste. Here's a great recipe for ripe tomatoes. Season them with garlic and toss them on the grill. DELICIOUS!
Here's how...
What you need:
4 red, ripe tomatoes
salt and freshly ground pepper
3 Tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons of fresh thyme leaves
Parmigiano-Reggiano or your favorite Vegan alternative.
What to do:
Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise, season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until just starting to turn golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the garlic and oil into a heatproof bowl.
Lightly oil your grill and set for high heat. Place the tomatoes cut side down and grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn them over, top with the garlic-oil mixture and continue to cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from grill and top with the thyme leaves and sprinkle with a bit of the grated cheese. Serve immediately with crusty whole grain french bread.
Yours in Good Health,
