Marinated Fresh Tomatoes
From Susie |
When I
was a kid this was a favorite way my family enjoyed all those extra garden
tomatoes grown, in a little garden plot, along the side of our garage. These
marinated tomatoes are also great on a grilled hamburger or a salad! (Editor’s Note –
these would be homegrown Kansas Tomatoes, that always have the taste of
sunshine!)
Marinated Fresh Tomatoes
4 large
Fresh Tomatoes, peeled - if desired - however I don't bother.
1/4 c Vegetable or Corn Oil
1 Tb Lemon
Juice (fresh squeezed or Minute Maid - found in the freezer section)
1 - 2 Garlic
Cloves, minced
1/2 tsp.
Salt
1/2 tsp.
Oregano, crushed between the fingers to release more flavor
A few Fresh
Basil leaves & Chives, chopped fine or a pinch or two, dried.
Slice
tomatoes & arrange in a shallow container that can be tightly covered. Combine the
oil & lemon juice then add the salt, minced garlic & herbs. Stir together till
well blended.
Pour mixture
over the tomatoes, cover & refrigerate till chilled & flavors are blended -
overnight or all day works well.
If the
tomatoes are eaten up quickly, simply add more slices to the same herbed liquid
& let them "marinate" before serving. But, only use the liquid over one time as
the juice from the tomatoes tends to weaken it's flavor.
Serves 4-5
