Steps:
- Add to a high-powered blender the basil, arugula, Parmesan, garlic and a pinch of salt and blend while streaming in the mozzarella oil until smooth. Taste and add salt as needed. Set aside.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to high (500 to 550 F.) While your grill is heating, lightly oil a large sheet pan (or 3 half-sheet pans) and place your dough balls on top. Use your fingers to stretch the pizza dough balls into a loose circle or oval about 1/8-inch-thick. Don't get too hung up on the shape, irregular is beautiful. Work your way around the dough to make sure that it's an even thickness throughout. Lightly brush oil on the top of the dough as well. Lightly sprinkle the tomatoes with salt.
- Place your doughs on the hot grill and close the lid. Cook until golden brown char marks appear and the doughs are cooked on the underside, 2 to 3 minutes. Open the lid of the grill, flip the doughs over and quickly spoon the pesto over top of the cooked side leaving a little border for the crust. Top with the sliced tomatoes and marinated mozzarella. Close the lid and cook until the cheese melts and the doughs are completely cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and enjoy.

GREEK-STYLE FISH WITH MARINATED TOMATOES
In summer I want a dish that tampers with the tomato-fish formula as little as possible. So instead of cooking the tomatoes, I marinate them, and instead of braising the fish, I grill or roast it. Neither fish nor tomatoes need much help.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees or prepare grill; heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Combine tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, chili, oregano, a few slices of garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a large bowl; let sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, make three or four diagonal, parallel slashes on each side of fish, just about down to the bone. Sprinkle inside of fish with salt and pepper, then stuff with remaining garlic, a layer of lemon slices and thyme sprigs. Rub outside of fish with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- To roast, put fish in roasting pan and cook for about 20 minutes (cooking time will depend on fish size). If grilling, cook until firm enough to turn, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn and cook second side for 5 to 8 minutes. Whether roasting or grilling, fish is done when exterior is crisp and a thin-bladed knife passes easily through the flesh.
- Taste tomato mixture and adjust seasoning, adding more oil if needed. Serve fish topped with tomatoes and their liquid.

Steps:
- Arrange tomato and onion slices in shallow bowl (I use a pie plate).
- Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt, oregano, and pepper.
- Pour over tomatoe and onion slices.
- Chill thoroughly at least 2 hours, gently stirring once or twice.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your marinated tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are vine-ripened and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: The marinade for your tomatoes can be customized to your own taste preferences. Some popular herbs and spices to use include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Experiment with different combinations to create a marinade that you love.
- Let the tomatoes marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the tomatoes marinate, the more flavorful they will be. If you are short on time, you can marinate the tomatoes for as little as 30 minutes. However, for the best flavor, marinate the tomatoes for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Serve the tomatoes chilled: Marinated tomatoes are best served chilled. This will help to bring out the flavors of the marinade and make the tomatoes even more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Marinated tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for summer gatherings or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and refreshing dish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you have a craving for something tangy and delicious, give marinated tomatoes a try!
