Ingredients

6 large firm ripe tomatoes
1 clove garlic
salt to taste
6 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. chopped fresh or dried rosemary
freshly chopped basil (optional)

Cooking Instructions

Core the tomatoes, but do not peel. Cut the tomatoes in half. Slice the garlic into wafer-thin slivers and insert the slivers into the tomato halves. Sprinkle with salt, the oil and rosemary. Rub the bottom of a baking dish with a little oil and arrange the tomatoes in the dish. Place the tomatoes about three inches from a broiler flame and broil until hot and bubbling and edges of tomatoes start to burn. Sprinkle with basil if desired. Serves 6.
