MARINATED TOMATOES Peel 5 large, ripe tomatoes (see note). Cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices. Arrange in a large glass bowl or dish. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 small clove garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (or 2 teaspoons fresh, chopped) and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Pour over tomatoes. Chill thoroughly, stirring once or twice. Makes 6 servings.
Note: To peel tomatoes, cut a small "x" into the bottom ends. Place the tomatoes in boiling water for a few minutes, just until the skin starts to peel or loosen. Immediately plunge them into cold water to prevent cooking. The skins should slip off. A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up an entire lifetime. Thanks for the bright lights of your friendship. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
