Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut each tomato in half horizontally. Using a small spoon, gently scoop out some of the seeds and liquid without removing too much pulp.
Brush the cut sides of the tomatoes with extra virgin olive oil and season them with salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir the mix and let it simmer until it reduces by half, forming a glaze-like consistency. This should take about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Once reduced, set aside to cool slightly.
Place the tomatoes cut side down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes are tender and have nice grill marks.
Transfer grilled tomatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the balsamic glaze.
Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter over the glazed tomatoes for an aromatic finish.
Serve immediately as a savory appetizer or a side dish.
