Marinated Tomatoes With Lemon Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing: Mix the olive oil, sugar, parsley, basil, vinegar, salt, pepper, thyme, green onions and garlic in a large bowl.
• For the tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes into slices, chunks, quarters or halves, depending on the size. Add the tomatoes to the dressing and marinate for 3 to 4 hours.
• To serve: Lay out the butter lettuce leaves on a platter. Remove the tomatoes with a slotted spoon and spoon generously onto the lettuce. Drizzle over some of the dressing. Sprinkle over lots of whole basil leaves and basil stems with a few leaves on then.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes, and cook 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to the ice-water bath to stop the cooking; let cool completely in ice-water bath. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and let drain.
• Slit tomatoes lengthwise, leaving halves attached along 1 edge. Open each tomato like a book, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until edges have shriveled slightly, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely.
