MARINATED TOMATOES WITH LEMON
Instead of the usual fresh basil, these tomatoes are made with fresh summer savory. If you cannot find fresh savory, fresh thyme works. Dried savory will work in a pinch (use 1/4 teaspoon).

Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, firm tomatoes that are free of blemishes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they are firm and have a low water content.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to the tomatoes. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the tomatoes: When you are marinating the tomatoes, make sure that they are in a single layer in the jar or container. If the tomatoes are overcrowded, they will not marinate evenly.
- Marinate the tomatoes for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the tomatoes, the more flavor they will have. If you are short on time, you can marinate the tomatoes for as little as 30 minutes, but the ideal marinating time is 2 hours or more.
- Serve the tomatoes chilled: Marinated tomatoes are best served chilled. You can chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can serve them immediately if you are short on time.
Conclusion:
Marinated tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for summer parties or picnics, and they can also be used as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
