Ripe, juicy tomatoes take in olive oil, red wine vinegar, onion, garlic, & clean herbs in Marinated Tomatoes, a zesty summer salad or a versatile facet dish!
Tis the season for homegrown tomatoes! thanks to my father-in-law’s bountiful lawn, by this time each summer time, we’re undoubtedly swimming in massive, juicy, deep crimson specimens of tomato perfection.
Marinated Tomatoes are handy to throw collectively with a handful of simple substances. What i like maximum approximately this recipe, although, is that now not only does the natural, tomato taste shine via, but it’s genuinely enhanced via the vinegar, aromatics, and herbs.
Some other first-class aspect about this dish is that it’s completely customizable. I show up to have lots of large, beefsteak-sized tomatoes right now, so I cut them into thick slices, lay them in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the top. The large floor area of the slices permits them to without a doubt absorb the deliciousness.
If your tomatoes are smaller, however, you could choose to reduce them into wedges. Tiny little cherry or grape tomatoes could be halved.
