By amaliana

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
• lemon juice
• 4 teaspoons finely chopped oregano leaves
• 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• Coarse sea salt and pepper
• 4 large tomatoes

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine 2 garlic cloves, minced, 1 tablespoon each finely grated lemon zest and lemon juice, 4 teaspoons finely chopped oregano leaves, and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Halve 4 large tomatoes crosswise and brush cut sides with 2 tablespoons oil. Place, cut side down, on grill. Grill until lightly charred, about 4 minutes. With a metal spatula, flip tomatoes and grill until skins blister and begin to char, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer tomatoes to a serving platter, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with oregano-lemon oil. Serve tomatoes warm or at room temperature.
