Blistered Tomatoes

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. I am offering up two options for grilled veggies. The first is grilled chinese eggplant. The second is blistered tomatoes. Blistered tomatoes sounds odd but taste GREAT. In fact they taste wonderfully sweet and make a great topper for a salad or just eat them as your side dish. Blistered tomatoes are very popular in big city restaurants so enjoy them hot off the grill at your house. They taste great cold too. These are two of my favorites for the summer.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of cherry tomatoes per person
• light spray of olive oil
• salt and pepper
• a sprinkle your favorite seasoning (to taste)

Instructions:

All you have to do for these tomatoes is spray them with olive oil, season them to your liking and grill them until they blacken in spots and become sort of charred and soft.

Is use my grill pan to cook them so there’s no chance of them falling through the grates of a regular grill but you can use a grill basket and put them on there if you choose.

Just heat your grill pan to medium high. Put the oiled tomatoes on the pan and let them begin to cook. Shake the pan once in awhile to change the position of the tomatoes so they blacken on more than one side.

The combination of the higher heat and the oil will bring out a very sweet flavor in the tomatoes. Grill as long as you want and then salt and pepper them before you eat.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
