Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe large tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-204°C).
Wash and dry the tomatoes thoroughly. Slice each tomato into 1/2 inch thick slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the tomato slices generously with the olive oil mixture, making sure they are well coated.
Place the tomato slices on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
While the tomatoes are grilling, rinse the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry.
Remove the grilled tomato slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Tear the basil leaves into small pieces and sprinkle them over the grilled tomatoes.
Serve immediately as a side dish or on top of a salad, and enjoy the smoky and savory flavors of the grilled tomato slices.
