Accompaniment: barley with toasted cumin and mint
Special Equipment
a 12- by 8- by 2-inch disposable aluminum roasting pan

Grilled Pesto Pizza with Marinated Mozzarella and Tomatoes image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 3 mini pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups fresh basil leaves
2 cups baby arugula
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 large cloves garlic, peeled
Kosher salt
Two 8-ounce containers marinated mozzarella balls, cut in half, plus 1 cup oil from the mozzarella (supplement with olive oil if needed)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus for brushing
1 1/2 pounds store bought pizza dough, at room temperature and divided into 3 balls
1 1/2 pounds assorted color cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

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



Greek-Style Fish With Marinated Tomatoes image

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.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cherry tomatoes, preferably Sun Gold, halved
1/4 cup olive oil, or more as needed
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh hot chili, like jalapeño, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried
4 cloves garlic, sliced, or more to taste
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 large whole fish or 2 smaller ones (2 to 3 pounds total), like striped bass, rockfish or trout; preferably butterflied and boned, or simply gutted
1 lemon, sliced
4 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme

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.

GREEK MARINATED TOMATOES



Greek Marinated Tomatoes image

If you are like us you will want a loaf of French bread to soak up the marinated from these flavorful tomatoes. These tomatoes go very well next grilled marinated meats. **cook time is really chill time**

Provided by Debbwl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 7m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large tomatoes, ripe, sliced
1/2 small red onion, thin sliced
1/4 cup olive oil, good quality
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/8 teaspoon pepper

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!
