Tomato-Marinated Greens and Beans Toast image

This fresh, no-cook dish makes the most out of tomatoes by grating the flesh, which preserves all of the sweet juices and raw pulp. The natural acidity in the tomato juice, combined with capers and vinegar, create a piquant sauce that tenderizes and subdues sturdy greens. Earthy Swiss chard is used here, but other leafy greens like lacinato kale would work, as would spicy mustard greens. The lentils add a meaty bite, but red kidney beans or chickpeas would also work. Refrigerate leftovers and serve over eggs, tossed with warm pasta or as a sauce for roasted chicken or fish.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ripe heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes (about 2 large tomatoes), halved crosswise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons drained capers, plus 1 tablespoon caper brine
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated garlic
4 ounces Swiss chard, stems separated and thinly sliced, leaves stacked and cut into 1/4-inch-thick ribbons
8 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 (14-ounce) can lentils, rinsed and drained
4 thick toast slices
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Working over a large bowl, grate flesh side tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater until all that's left is the tomato skin; discard skin. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups juice and pulp.) Stir in oil, capers and caper brine, shallot, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and 1/4 cup cold water. Add Swiss chard and cherry tomatoes and mix well. Let stand for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir lentils into tomato-marinated greens and mix well. Spoon mixture over toast. Drizzle with oil, top with cheese and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of greens, but I actually really liked this recipe. The tomato marinade was so flavorful, and the greens were cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, maybe some salt and pepper.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little bit of garlic and onion to the marinade, and I always serve it with a side of crusty bread.
