Tired of bland tomatoes? Want something new? I was skeptical at first, but these are tasty. You have to try them. Ingredients:
2 tomatoes |
4 tbs giardiniera (italian pickled vegetables, see directions) |
4 tbs mozzarella |
Directions:
1. Slice the Tomatoes in half (top & bottom) and give them a good squeeze over the sink to lose a lot of juice and pulp.
2. Slice off the the uncut side of the tomato, and put them on the grill.
3. After a couple of minutes (before they stick too bad), flip them over and add 1 Tbs of Giardiniera to each slice, and 1 Tbs of Mozzarella on top of that. Cook another minute or two and serve.
4. Notes:
5. If your tomato slices are too thick, the cheese may not melt. Either slice the tomato no more than about 1 1/2 inches thick, or place them in the oven momentarily to melt the cheese over them.
6. Giardiniera is available at your local grocery store, probably right by the pickles and relishes. It ranges from sweet to hot, depending on the brand. The pieces may be a little large, so I'd recommend dicing them if needed.
