One of my DH's faves! Best with fresh ingredients, it's a tasty accompaniment to meat, poultry, or fish. Adapted from Corinne Netzer's 101 Low Fat Recipes. Ingredients:
4 tomatoes (ripe but firm) |
1/2 teaspoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed |
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed, drained, and chopped |
2 garlic cloves, finely minced |
8 basil leaves, julienned |
1/4 cup breadcrumbs |
2 tablespoons romano cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler (this is the time to use that toaster oven!).
2. Cut tomatoes in half, turn upside down and squeeze gently to release some membrane, making room for the yummy topping.
3. Spray shallow baking dish with olive oil or Pam, and arrange tomato halves cut-side up.
4. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with capers.
5. In a small bowl, mix together remaining ingredients and coat tops of tomatoes with mixture. Broil for 5+ minutes, until topping is golden. Be careful not to overcook as tomatoes are much tastier with a little firmness left to the flesh.
6. Serve immediately or tomatoes will get soggy.
