GRILLED PARMESAN TOMATOES
We grill almost everything in the warmer season even vegetables! I always make this recipe using big juicy tomatoes from the garden, these are so good! Since these tomatoes are best served at room temperature or chilled they are great to make ahead and serve to company. Make certain to use the biggest juiciest tomatoes you can find for this, plum tomatoes just won't do! Since I really don't measure when I make these, the amounts listed are only estimated, you can really just use as much as desired to taste, but only use a small amount of honey. For 7 large tomatoes (14 halves) I find that one extra large garlic bulb will give you enough thin slices of garlic to cover 14 tomato halves. Of course you can use more garlic and use as many tomatoes as you like!
