This tomato appetizer is great scooped onto Arabic bread. (The recipe originates from Jordan & Palestine.) Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves, crushed |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1/2 small hot pepper, very finely chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 large firm tomatoes, thickly sliced |
Directions:
1. Thoroughly mix the garlic with the pepper, salt, and hot pepper; then stir in the parsley and set aside.
2. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the slices from 1 tomato to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Turn over and sprinkle the slices with the garlic mixture.
3. Continue to cook for another minute, shaking the pan occasionally; then turn the slices over again and cook until they are done, but not mushy.
4. Slide the tomato slices onto a plate then repeat with the rest of the oil & tomato slices. Serve immediately after cooking.
5. Note: Do not try to cook more than two servings at a time or the tomatoes will end up overcooked.
