Best Sliced Tomatoes With Lemon Thyme Recipes

TOMATOES WITH LEMON THYME

Tomatoes With Lemon Thyme image

This is so simple that it is almost an embarrassment to post as a recipe. I snagged the idea from the August 2007 Martha Stewart Living, and loved the combination of the herb and the fresh tomatoes. She suggests that placing this salad in the sun for 20 minutes before serving will help the individual flavors meld. That is one thing that you wouldn't want to do with potato salad. LOL (Cook time is the time for flavors to meld.)

Gently baked plum tomatoes, sprinkled with lemon thyme and marinated in olive oil (we like the peppery taste of Ravida or Colonna oilve oil), are juicy beauties to accompany torn pieces of a flour-dusted Italian loaf.

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 pounds small plum tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lemon thyme leaves
1 tablespoon sea salt flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for filling jar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes, and cook 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to the ice-water bath to stop the cooking; let cool completely in ice-water bath. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and let drain.
Slit tomatoes lengthwise, leaving halves attached along 1 edge. Open each tomato like a book, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until edges have shriveled slightly, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, stir together garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon thyme, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle one side of each tomato with about 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mixture; fold over other side.
Layer tomatoes in a sterilized, dry 1-quart jar. Pour in enough oil to cover tomatoes. Place a round of waxed paper on surface to keep them submerged. Refrigerate at least 24 hours; let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.
