Grilled Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the tomatoes. Cut them in half.
• Mix together the basil, oregano, pepper, parsley. (and garlic if you are using the dried stuff).
• On the cut surface of the tomatoes, sprinkle the herb mixture(add the garlic now if using fresh).
• Sprinkle the feta cheese on top and top with the grated cheese if using.
• Place on a preheated to low temperature grill or in toaster oven.
• Grill or cook for about 10 - 15 minutes. Using tongs, carefully remove the tomatoes onto a plate. (They will be soft, so be gentle so as not to squish them!).
• An alternative cooking method is to loosely cover them with foil to make removal from the grill a bit easier. I wrap the foil up around the tomato so it has a "handle" at the top.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the cut sides of the tomatoes, and sprinkle with garlic, salt, and black pepper.
• Place tomatoes, cut sides up, onto the preheated grill, and grill until the tomatoes start to sizzle and show blackened grill marks, about 4 minutes. Flip the tomatoes over and grill until the garlic turns golden brown, about 3 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. Slice the tomatoes thickly, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches, pour some olive oil and some cracked pepper and salt on both sides. Place on grill for about 3 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• In a large serving bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of the olive oil with the vinegar, garlic, lime zest and juice. Taste for seasoning.
• Arrange the tomatoes, cut side-up, with the scallions and thyme in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil over all and sprinkle with salt. Place the tomatoes, cut side-up, and the scallions and thyme on a hot part of the grill and cook for 2 minutes. Flip the scallions and thyme and gently flip the tomatoes onto the cut sides. Place the chives on the grill near the scallions. Cook until tender and lightly charred, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the thyme sprigs from the grill. Remove the leaves from the stems and mix into the ricotta. Remove the tomatoes and scallions. Chop the scallions and chives into large (1/2-inch) pieces. Season the tomatoes with the sugar and some pepper. Spoon the ricotta into a serving platter or bowl and season with salt. Arrange the tomatoes, scallions and chives next to and on top of the ricotta. Spoon the dressing on top.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Place tomatoes, cut-sides up, in 8-inch square foil pan sprayed with cooking spray. Drizzle with dressing; top with cheeses. Place pan on grill grate.
• Grill 10 to 12 min. or until mozzarella is melted and tomatoes are heated through.
• Sprinkle with herbs.

Steps:

• Set your barbecue to about 300°F or to medium-low heat.
• Place the tomato halves on a greased baking sheet cut-side up.
• Divide the garlic slices on top of each tomato (if you have any garlic slices left over just sprinkle around the tomato halves).
• Drizzle with just a very SMALL amount of honey (if using).
• Then drizzle with balsamic vinegar and then olive oil.
• Season with salt and pepper (I use seasoned salt for this).
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Place the tray of tomatoes on the grill.
• Roast until tomatoes are very soft and lightly charred (about 25-30 minutes; the cooking time will vary depending on the size of your tomatoes and the barbecue heat.
• Remove the tomatoes from the tray and place on a serving platter.
• Drizzle with more olive oil.
• These are best if served chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. In a bowl, toss tomatoes with oil and thyme; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Starting with cut sides down, grill tomatoes until soft and charred, 8 to 12 minutes per side.
• Return to bowl; cut into rough pieces with kitchen shears.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24 in. x 12 in.). In a small skillet, saute garlic and oregano in butter for 2 minutes. Pour over tomatoes. Fold foil around tomatoes and seal tightly., Grill, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until tomatoes are heated through. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Place tomatoes, cut sides up, in disposable foil pan. Drizzle with dressing; sprinkle with cheese.
• Place pan on grill grate; cover grill with lid.
• Grill 15 min. or until tomatoes are softened and cheese is lightly browned.
