Remember the time we had a President who challenged a kindergarten student about the correct spelling of tomato? And we thought that was pathetic! I digress...one of my favorite things to do in the summer months is to grill outdoors, and at least in the northeast, we grab onto every second of nice weather while it lasts, as winter is right around the corner! I also adore fresh vegetables, often hard to come by in winter months in our hood, so to combine fresh air, fresh veggies and grilling...what's better than that? Here are two ways I love to serve tomatoes, either to a group or just the two of us:
1.) We grill cherry tomatoes by preparing them indoors in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Let them sit in the mixture before placing directly on grill, then continue rotating until nicely browned. Place back in bowl with olive oil mixture.
2.) This seems incredibly simple (and it is) and is wonderful as either a salad or appetizer. We find incredible tomatoes at either our local farmers market or grocery store, slice it up and lightly dress with olive oil, salt and pepper. The juicier the better!
