1. Marinated Tomatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs vine-ripened tomatoes
Marinade
- 1 small red onion, diced very small
- a large handful of fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- a large handful of fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- ΒΌ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
Carefully cut your tomatoes into 1/3-inch thick slices. A good mandolin will slice them evenly, but a sharp knife works too. Arrange them nicely onto a large rimmed platter or in a large serving dish.
Lightly season with sea salt and pepper to your personal taste.
In a small mixing bowl combine all of your marinade ingredients and whisk together really well. Drizzle or spoon your fresh marinade equally over your sliced tomatoes as shown.
Cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend and develop.
Can be refrigerated for 1 hour up to overnight. Best eaten within a few hours though.
Enjoy
Feel free to adjust the amounts of herbs, garlic, and acidity to suit your personal taste preferences. You can also try swapping in different vinegars or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
These marinated tomatoes are a versatile side or topping that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, pasta dishes, or simply enjoyed on their own. They are sure to become a new summertime favorite!
