Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Tomatoes (ripe but firm)
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Fresh oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional, crumbled)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thick slices or wedges, depending on your preference.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, fresh oregano leaves, chopped parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk it all together to create the marinade.
Add the sliced tomatoes to the bowl and toss gently to coat each piece evenly with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the tomatoes to an airtight container. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Before serving, give the tomatoes another gentle toss to redistribute the marinade.
Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for added creaminess and tang.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, salad topping, or with crusty bread for dipping into the marinade.
