Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 5 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the tomatoes into even, 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them in a single layer on a serving plate.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them. Alternatively, you can use a garlic press for a finer texture.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the olive oil, dried oregano, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Drizzle the garlic olive oil mixture evenly over the tomato slices, making sure each slice is coated with the flavorful mixture.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and scatter them over the tomatoes for a fresh and aromatic garnish.
Let the dish sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer, a side dish for grilled proteins, or a light snack.
