Tomates marinados

Ingredientes

• 1.5 pounds Ripe Tomatoes
• 6 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Red Grape Vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
• 1/3 cup Red Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Basil (chopped)
• 2 teaspoons Parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Dill (finely chopped)
• Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper (to taste)

Preparación

1. 1

   Prepare Tomatoes: Rinse the ripe tomatoes thoroughly, pat them dry with a clean towel, and then cut them into approximately ⅓ inch thick slices. Arrange the tomato slices evenly in a large shallow dish to maximize surface area for marinating.

2. 2

   Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red grape vinegar, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, fresh chopped basil, parsley, dill, and a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Combine Tomatoes and Marinade: Pour the prepared marinade evenly over the sliced tomatoes ensuring all pieces are coated with the flavorful mixture. Spread it gently to cover all slices.

4. 4

   Marinate: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the tomatoes to absorb the marinade’s flavors deeply. Flip or gently stir the tomatoes once during the marinating period to ensure even flavor distribution.

5. 5

   Serve: Once marinated, serve the tomatoes chilled as a fresh salad or use them as a vibrant side dish to complement your favorite meals. Enjoy the burst of herbal and tangy flavors!
