BBQed Tomatoes


Ingredients:
several medium tomatoes
fresh basil
fresh rosemary

Cut the top off the tomato, just like you would if making a jack-o-lantern.

Use a spoon to core an inch to 2 inch diameter section from the middle of the tomato, leaving some meat in the bottom.

Place 6-8 basil leaves and a sprig of rosemary in the cored tomato, and replace the top.

Put tomato on the edge of the charcoal, or gas flame and cover. Rotate 1/4 turn every 3-4 minutes, keeping the stem end up.

Remove and enjoy. I discard the rosemary sprig, but cut up and eat the basil with the tomato. The heat will cause the skin to blacken and peel away, but that is OK.

If you fill the tomato with cilantro, and a little epazote, and grill it in Baja, is it a Baja recipe then?:lol:

Actually epazote is a relative new thing here in Baja, its more southern Mexico style than us, so it wouldnt qualify.;)

So stuff a few Jalape?o slices in the tomato, Jesse. Will it qualify now?

How about some mezcal marinade?

However, I do recommend the original recipe. And even if it is not an "authentic baja recipe", they are very good. :P
