Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice each tomato in half horizontally. Brush the cut sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, prepare the gremolada by finely mincing the garlic cloves and chopping the parsley. Combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt in the bowl. Stir to mix well.
Place the tomatoes cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 4 minutes until grill marks form and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Carefully flip the tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, being mindful not to overcook them.
Transfer the grilled tomatoes to a serving platter, cut-side up.
Spoon the gremolada mixture over the grilled tomatoes, evenly distributing it across all the halves.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the gremolada-topped tomatoes for added flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
