Broiled Parmesan Tomatoes

[Neo]

Enjoy this quick side dish with steak.

Serves 2

1 medium Tomato, cored and halved
1/2 teaspoon Olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Basil
1/4 teaspoon Oregano
1/4 teaspoon Garlic, minced
1/3 cup Parmesan

Heat the broiler. Sprinkle the split tomato with olive oil.
Pinch on the herbs. Top with the cheese. Place under the
broiler and cook until the tomatoes are just soft and the
cheese begins to brown.

Cheers

Man... A lot (well, ok, all) of your recipes make my mouth water and then it sucks cause I can't make them.

What's the mouth equivalent of blue balls?

 

[Q]

You can most certainly cut a tomato in half and put stuff on it...now git in the kitchen

 

[s4]

Yeah, I'm doin' it right this second.

j/k I'm too lazy to cook. It's sounds like interesting though.

1) I have no tomatoes
2) I have no olive oil
3) I have no basil
4) I have no oregano
5) I have no garlic
6) I don't have that much parmesan cheese (you'd think with multiple trillions of light-years of cheese stored away in my warehouse that I'd have a third of a cup of parmesan )

Hey i even try to put up easy ones that even us guys can make, now get your arse to the store and get cooking...

 

[Q]

Here's a little hint for you non-Emril types....that yummy dipping butter that comes in your Papa Johns pizza works great.

...and flurf, I bet you got most of that stuff in the cupboard, you just don't pay any attention to it....NOW GIT IN THE KITCHEN LIKE I TOLDJA TO

Unplug dude! Go to that same bar that Neo met Trinity at in the Matrix. Oh and stop at the store on the way home.

Might be interesting to do a cold variation on this by cutting the top 1/4 off the tomato, core it out and chop with the tops. Then mix tomato black olive slices, green olive slices, minced anchovy, chopped roasted eggplant or squash, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, basil, oregano, minced garlic, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Fill tomatoes with mix and chill. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf tucked in the side before serving and sprinkle a little extra feta on top.

Yeah I still get inspired even though I don't cook much anymore.

I would serve with Souvlaki (sp?) and steamed asparagus with a lemon & egg cream sauce and dill. The wine with the meal would be Carneros Creek Pinot Noir for me and Fetzer Gewurztraminer for you, altough I would give you a taste of my Pinot Noir in case you might like it.

Desert would be Pears poached in Port wine topped with a light caramel sauce, miniature chocolate truffel and chopped pecans served with a glass of Wachenschwanz ruby port.

We would be the entertainment. You can wear jeans... for a while.

 

[Q]

.....and where does that yummy sounding blueberry wine fit into this scenario? is it done yet?

 

[wine4all]

It is not done yet. But we could do a barrel tasting.

 

[Q]

IN the barrel???
