Balsamic marinated tomatoes are a delightful side dish that can elevate any meal. They are incredibly easy to make and require just a handful of ingredients. The key to this recipe is to use high-quality balsamic vinegar, as it will greatly influence the flavor of the tomatoes. You can find balsamic vinegar in most grocery stores, but it is worth seeking out a good quality one if you can. The tomatoes should also be ripe and flavorful. Once you have gathered your ingredients, you can marinate the tomatoes for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight. The longer you marinate them, the more flavorful they will be.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 rib lamb chops (1 1/2 lb total), bones frenched and all fat trimmed
1 1/2 lb cherry tomatoes (preferably on the vine)
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Accompaniment: barley with toasted cumin and mint
Special Equipment
a 12- by 8- by 2-inch disposable aluminum roasting pan

Steps:

  • Stir together honey, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper and transfer to a sealable plastic bag. Add lamb, then seal bag, pressing out excess air and turning to distribute marinade. Marinate lamb, chilled, turning occasionally, 1 hour. Bring lamb to room temperature.
  • Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill and on lid.
  • Remove lamb from marinade, reserving marinade. When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds), grill lamb on lightly oiled grill rack, turning once, about 4 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered.
  • Cook tomatoes (still on vine, if using) in disposable roasting pan, covered with grill lid, carefully turning, until softened and just beginning to split, about 8 minutes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over tomatoes, turning to coat, then cook, uncovered, until vinegar is reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Remove from grill.
  • Bring reserved marinade with any lamb juices accumulated on platter to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, covered.
  • Drizzle lamb with marinade and serve with tomatoes.
