Marinated Tomatoes
For when you've already eaten pounds of fresh tomatoes and want just a little bit of a different flavor. Let them sit for a few minutes or a couple of hours and then eat on their own, toss with a few chickpeas and feta for a salad, or spoon over a thick slice of toast schmeared with goat cheese for a summer snack.
Ingredients
2 lbs tomatoes-- cherry, heirloom, or slicers
1 shallot, sliced thinly
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp herbs de provence
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp chili flake
Method
- Cut the tomatoes into bite sized pieces
- Combine with all of the other ingredients and toss to coat
- Taste adding more salt as desired
- Let sit minimum 5 minutes (or up to two days) and then serve-- the flavor will intensify and the salad will get juicier the longer they sit
