This dish is a prime example that really
good produce needs very little done to it to create a great-tasting
dish. Since the quality of the dish depends entirely on the quality
of the tomatoes, make sure you get vine-ripened ones.
Grilled Peppered Tomatoes
with Lemon and Garlic
4 vine-ripened tomatoes
1/4 cup freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, about 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, basil, or mixture of both
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
6 dashes Tabasco sauce
- Stem the tomatoes and cut them into quarters.
Sprinkle them with pepper and grill over a hot fire for about
2 minutes, turning occasionally, or until they are lightly browned.
- Remove the tomatoes from the grill and
place them in a bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients, toss
gently, and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
