Grilled Parmesan Garlic Tomatoes Food

GRILLED EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium heat. Stir together the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl.
• Slice the eggplant into eight 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Slice each of the tomatoes into four 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Put the slices on a baking sheet, and brush them on both sides with the garlic oil; continue brushing until all the oil is used, being especially generous with the eggplant. Sprinkle both sides with salt. Let sit 5 minutes to allow the eggplant to fully absorb the oil and salt.
• Mix the Parmesan and chopped basil together in a small bowl.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the bread slices until they have developed grill marks and some char, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the grill, drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
• Grill the eggplant and tomato rounds, covered, until grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Flip the eggplant rounds with a spatula, and place 1 tomato round on top of each. Top each stack with some of the Parmesan-basil mixture and the mozzarella. Grill, covered, to finish cooking the eggplant and to melt the mozzarella, about 4 minutes.
• Garnish the eggplant Parmesan stacks with torn basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve with the grilled bread on the side.

Steps:

• Set your barbecue to about 300°F or to medium-low heat.
• Place the tomato halves on a greased baking sheet cut-side up.
• Divide the garlic slices on top of each tomato (if you have any garlic slices left over just sprinkle around the tomato halves).
• Drizzle with just a very SMALL amount of honey (if using).
• Then drizzle with balsamic vinegar and then olive oil.
• Season with salt and pepper (I use seasoned salt for this).
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Place the tray of tomatoes on the grill.
• Roast until tomatoes are very soft and lightly charred (about 25-30 minutes; the cooking time will vary depending on the size of your tomatoes and the barbecue heat.
• Remove the tomatoes from the tray and place on a serving platter.
• Drizzle with more olive oil.
• These are best if served chilled or at room temperature.

• Pour garlic and oil into a heatproof bowl.
• Set up the grill and preheat to high.
• When grill is ready, brush some oil on the grill grate.
• Place tomatoes cut side down on the hot grate and grill until nicely browned (3-5 minutes).
• Rotate 45 degrees after 2 minutes to create the crosshatch marks on tomatoes.
• Turn the tomatoes with tongs so they sit with the cut side facing up.
• Spoon the fried garlic into the tomatoes.
• Grill until the bottoms are nicely browned (3-5 minutes).
• Transfer to a serving plate, grate the cheese over the tomatoes, and sprinkle with thyme.

GRILLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Wash the tomatoes. Cut them in half.
• Mix together the basil, oregano, pepper, parsley. (and garlic if you are using the dried stuff).
• On the cut surface of the tomatoes, sprinkle the herb mixture(add the garlic now if using fresh).
• Sprinkle the feta cheese on top and top with the grated cheese if using.
• Place on a preheated to low temperature grill or in toaster oven.
• Grill or cook for about 10 - 15 minutes. Using tongs, carefully remove the tomatoes onto a plate. (They will be soft, so be gentle so as not to squish them!).
• An alternative cooking method is to loosely cover them with foil to make removal from the grill a bit easier. I wrap the foil up around the tomato so it has a "handle" at the top.

GRILLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the cut sides of the tomatoes, and sprinkle with garlic, salt, and black pepper.
