Fire up the grill for delicious grilled tomatoes using your fresh tomato harvest.
Ingredients:
  • 2 firm, ripe tomatoes (not overly ripe or they will fall apart when you grill them), cut in half around the middle
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt (or fleur de sel if you can get it)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 basil leaves, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Remove the seeds from the tomatoes over the sink by gently dislodging the watery pulp with your fingers. (While flavorful, the seeds and pulp will be lost during grilling.)
  • Preheat the grill on high for direct grilling. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper, brush with olive oil, then grill cut side down for about 4 minutes. Use a metal spatula to remove from grill when ready.
  • Serve attractively: Arrange the tomatoes, cut side up, on a serving dish. Drizzle with a touch more olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and garnish with thinly sliced basil.
