Ingredients:
4 ripe tomatoes
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves
1 cup basil leaves
Directions:
Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise, brush with 1 teaspoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill with 1 teaspoon oil and set for high heat.
While the grill heats up, prepare the basil puree. Pulverize the garlic with the ¼ cup oil in a blender, then add the basil and a pinch of salt. Puree until smooth. The mixture should be thin enough that you can easily drizzle it over the tomatoes.
Place the tomatoes cut side down and grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from grill and drizzle with basil puree. Serve immediately.
Serves: 4
