Mary Bridgman of Bridgman Farm recommends...
Grilled Tomatoes
If you want to serve up your tomatoes as a side dish or appetizer, grill them face down for two to three minutes then flip them over to finish off.
Any part of the tomato that is going to be in contact with the grill needs to be lightly oiled. Brush a little olive oil over the surface of the tomato and it won’t stick. Most of this oil will be lost to the grill so you really are not adding much fat. Don’t use too much or you might get flare-ups which will ruin your tomatoes.
▪ Cut out the stem end and then cut the tomato in half.
▪ Before grilling, brush them with olive oil seasoned with salt, pepper, herbs and spices.
▪ Grill them for about two minutes cut side down then turn them over.
▪ Serve right off the grill or sprinkle on garlic, cheese or whatever you want to season your tomatoes with or load them up with cheese, nuts, seasoned bread crumbs or whatever else you want.
