I recently experimented with grilling tomatoes. \u00a0I tried several methods and came up with one that got \"5 stars\" from my wife, Sue. \u00a0It's easy to do and results in a grilled tomato that has a ton of flavor. \u00a0I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n

First, I cut a medium sized tomato in half and then removed the pulp and seeds from the inner sections:<\/p>\n

\"Tomato<\/p>\n

Next I sprinkled some salt and pepper on the cut side of the tomato. \u00a0Then put the tomato on the grill, cut side down, and grilled on high heat for about 15 minutes. \u00a0My goal was to get the cut side to just start to char a little.<\/p>\n

When the tomato was just starting to char, I flipped it over (I used tongs, but would suggest a spatula, as the skin of the tomato can start to slip away).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/div>\n

Drizzle a little bit of Italian dressing on the tomato, which allows it to settle down into the hollow tomato sections (where you removed the pulp and seeds). \u00a0The idea here is to get some more flavor down inside the tomato so that when you eat it, all the flavor isn't at the top.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle the cut side of the tomato with shredded Mozzarella cheese and top it off with a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and basil.<\/p>\n

Grill until the cheese is melted and serve!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pretty delicious, if I so say so myself! \u00a0When I do this again, I'm thinking I might actually gently push some of the cheese down into the hollow tomato sections.<\/p>\n

Grilled tomatoes are a nice, easy side dish and a great addition to your grilled meal.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
