Ciao, y'all! Green tomatoes go from the frying pan into the fire with a Southern-Italian twist. Using white (rather than brown) balsamic vinegar in the marinade brightens the color of the grilled tomatoes, but the salad's flavor is extraordinary with either. Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
4 medium-size green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 2 lb.) |
1 (16-oz.) package sliced fresh mozzarella cheese |
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste |
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; add tomatoes, seal, and shake gently to coat. Chill 1 hour.
2. Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Remove tomatoes from marinade, reserving marinade. Grill tomatoes, covered with grill lid, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until tender and grill marks appear.
3. Arrange alternating slices of warm grilled tomatoes and mozzarella cheese on a large, shallow platter. Drizzle with reserved marinade; season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with basil.
