Marinated Tomatoes


This is my mom's recipe.  She used regular-sized sliced tomatoes, but I had all of these good grape tomatoes (datterino) that needed used up.  So I just sliced them in half and put the marinade over them.  They were very good.  This would be a good thing to take to a pot-luck.  It's a change from the usual carbs, you can make it ahead, and it can sit out for a long time. I'd like to try this with regular tomatoes, too.
Marinated Tomatoes 
recipe from my Mom

6 regular tomatoes or about 2 cups grape tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced fine
1/2 tsp. dried thyme or 2 Tablespoons fresh
1/4 cup green onions or a few Tablespoons fresh chives, sliced
1/4 cup minced parsley, or a little bit dried
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup sunflower, canola or olive oil

1. Cut tomatoes in 1/2 inch thick slices (peel first, if desired).  If using grape tomatoes, rinse and halve them.  Place in a bowl or shallow dish.

2.  In another bowl, combine garlic, thyme, green onions or chives, parsley, salt, and pepper.  Sprinkle mixture over tomatoes.

3. Combine oil and vinegar in a jar, shake to blend well.  Pour over tomatoes.  Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours.  Spoon marinade over tomatoes from time to time.
