Last week on Pinterest I ran across this post. It was a photo of a pan of tomatoes and some sparse directions. There was not a link to take you to the original source. Apparently it was taken and added with a phone with no other reference. Well, the photo looked yummy and I decided to give it a try. Since there wasn't any amounts in the recipe listed, I came up with my own. After tasting it, I decided it was well worth sharing.
We are so fortunate to just be down the road from a great farm stand where I was able to buy large delicious tomatoes.
Balsamic Tomato Slices
Ingredients:
2 large beefy tomatoes
Balsamic Vinegar
1 bag of Spinach
2 Tablespoons fresh minced garlic
Dash or two of olive oil
1 2-cup bag of shredded Italian Cheese
Fresh ground salt and pepper
Slice two tomatoes in to thick slices and place on cookie sheets. Drizzle Balsamic Vinegar on each of the slices. Let marinate for 1 hour. Bake tomatoes on 350 degrees for 7 minutes.
Add olive oil to a large skillet. Warm on medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir until the garlic is mixed well with the oil. Remove the long stems from the spinach and add the entire bag to the garlic oil. Saute until spinach is lightly cooked.
Remove tomatoes from oven. Evenly divide the spinach on to the top of the tomato slices. Grind salt and pepper on the tomatoes and spinach. Add cheese to the top. I used about 2/3 of the bag of cheese.
Broil for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
This makes a great side dish to any meat. Enjoy!

Thanks Pam for sharing your recipe. It looks yummy! I have been looking for different ways to spice up supper that wasn't to labor intensive. I will probably try it out this weekend. Out here in the dessert heat a person just doesn't feel like cooking very much.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the heat. We are in the Carolina foothills of the mountains but have had some unusually hot days. This was a quick and easy dish and it actually heated up well in my toaster oven for lunch today. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteUsually it's a result of the fire communicated in the article I looked at. And after this post "Balsamic Tomato Slices". I was excited enough to post a comment :-) I do have some questions for you if it's
allright. Could it be simply me or do some of these comments appear like written by brain dead people?
:-P And, if you are posting on other places, I would like to
keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list all of your community pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
