GRILLED TOMATOES
I make this at least once a week. Tomatoes are even better for you when they are cooked. It enhances their nutrition. Since my husband's heart attack last year, I serve him lots of tomatoes. I have done these on the grill and in the toaster oven (when it's too cold outside to cook) and I have made it so many different ways, by changing the type of cheese I use to actually hollowing out the tomatoes and stuffing them with the ingredients. When I make them, I usually sprinkle a little home made chili powder on his because he likes his spicier, I like mine just plain. (I didn't add the chili powder in the recipe as it's a home made blend of whatever peppers were growing in our garden last year that I dehydrated and ground up) Sometimes, we have had these with no other cheese except for the feta and it is still very good. Just adjust the recipe to your likings and see what you can come up with!

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:
- 1. Brush the tomato halves all over with olive oil. Season them generously all over with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the garlic and chopped sage over them. Press a whole sage leaf in the center of the cut side of each tomato half. Set any leftover olive oil aside.
- 2. Cook the tomatoes, following the instructions below for any of the grills, until nicely browned.
- 3. Transfer the tomatoes to a platter or plates and drizzle any remaining olive oil over them. Serve at once.
- Variations:
- •This recipe calls for fresh sage because I like its earthy flavor and I also like the way the whole leaves look when grilled into the tomato halves. If you don't like or can't find sage, you can achieve a similar effect with small sprigs of fresh rosemary, tarragon, thyme, flat-leaf parsley, or another herb.
- • You can also grill small whole plum tomatoes this way. Skewer the sage leaves onto the tomatoes with wooden toothpicks.
- CONTACT GRILL:
- Preheat the grill; if your contact grill has a temperature control, preheat the grill to high. Place the drip pan under the front of the grill. When ready to cook, lightly oil the grill surface. Arrange the tomato halves on the hot grill, cut side up, then close the lid. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 4 to 6 minutes.
- GRILL PAN:
- Place the grill pan on the stove and preheat it to medium-high over medium heat. When the grill pan is hot a drop of water will skitter in the pan. When ready to cook, lightly oil the ridges of the grill pan. Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, in the hot grill pan on a diagonal to the ridges. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 4 to 6 minutes per side. Rotate the tomatoes a quarter turn after grilling 2 minutes on the first side to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.
- BUILT-IN GRILL:
- Preheat the grill to high, then, if it does not have a nonstick surface, brush and oil the grill grate. Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, on the hot grate on a diagonal to the ridges. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 4 to 6 minutes per side. Rotate the tomatoes a quarter turn after grilling 2 minutes on the first side to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.
- FREESTANDING GRILL:
- Preheat the grill to high; there's no need to oil the grate. Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, on the hot grate on a diagonal to the ridges. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 5 to 7 minutes per side. Rotate the tomatoes a quarter turn after grilling 2 minutes on the first side to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.
- FIREPLACE GRILL:
- Rake red hot embers under the gridiron and preheat it for 3 to 5 minutes; you want a hot, 2 to 3 Mississippi fire. When ready to cook, brush and oil the gridiron. Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, on the hot grate on a diagonal to the ridges. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 4 to 6 minutes per side. Rotate the tomatoes a quarter turn after grilling 2 minutes on the first side to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final dish, so choose the best you can find.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: Different types of tomatoes have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will give your dish more depth of flavor and visual appeal.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: If you overcrowd the grill, the tomatoes won't cook evenly and they'll end up steamed instead of grilled.
- Grill the tomatoes until they're slightly charred: This will give them a smoky flavor and help to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Make the gremolata ahead of time: The gremolata can be made up to a day in advance, so you can save time on the day you're serving the tomatoes.
- Serve the tomatoes immediately: Grilled tomatoes are best served immediately, while they're still warm and juicy.
Conclusion:
Grilled gremolata tomatoes are a simple but delicious dish that's perfect for summer entertaining. They're easy to make and can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even a main course. The combination of sweet, smoky tomatoes and tangy gremolata is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're firing up the grill, don't forget to add some tomatoes to the menu!
