GRILLED TOMATOES WITH OREGANO

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Make the dressing: In a small sauté pan, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat and add the fresh oregano. Cook until the green color fades and the leaves crisp up, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the oil and oregano into a medium bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the dried oregano to the bowl. Cut the limes in half and squeeze all the juice into the bowl. Use a citrus reamer or a spoon to scrape the pulp from the limes and add the pulp to the bowl as well. Whisk together. Taste for seasoning.
• Grill the heirloom tomatoes: Oil the grill grates. Arrange the heirloom tomato slices in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Season them on both sides with salt, pepper and some of the sugar. Put the cherry tomatoes on a separate baking sheet and season them with more salt, pepper and sugar. Use a pair of tongs to transfer the heirloom tomato slices to the grill, arranging them in a single layer. Let them sit until they get nice grill marks on the bottom (and a great charred flavor), 2 to 3 minutes. Turn them over and let them cook for a few minutes longer. Transfer the grilled tomatoes to a serving platter. Top with the cherry tomato halves.
• Finish the salad: Drizzle the tomatoes with the dressing and sprinkle with salt. Taste a piece of tomato to check the seasoning. If it lacks sweetness, a sprinkle of sugar on the tomatoes can make all the difference. Serve immediately.

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.

• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Arrange half the cheese slices over the bottom half of the baguette, followed by the tomato slices. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then add the remaining provolone. Top with the remaining baguette half.
• Grill the sandwiches for about 3 minutes, until the cheese melts. Cut the sandwich into 4 pieces and serve immediately.
