Grilled Green Tomatoes
Serves 4, 2 Carbohydrate boxes per serving
Ingredients
| 4 | Large Green Tomatoes, cut into ½-inch-thick slices |
| ¼ cup | Extra-Virgin Olive Oil |
| 2 | Garlic Cloves, minced |
| 1 Tbsp | Chopped Fresh Oregano |
| Salt | |
| Freshly Ground Black Pepper |
Instructions
Prepare a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill on high. Lightly oil the grill rack.
Put the tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the oil, garlic and oregano. Toss the tomatoes to thoroughly coat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes on the grill and cook each side for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender.
Kitchen Tips
This is a perfect way to use those tomatoes that never quite ripened. If you pick green tomatoes when they are very firm, they will keep in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator for a few weeks.
While the grill is hot, make extra tomatoes and refrigerate them for later use. They’re great in scrambled eggs, or as a side dish for grilled meats or poultry.
