Missy’s Marinated Tomatoes

 

If you have any tomatoes left in your garden this is a way to use those up.  This recipe is one of the most popular I have ever made.  This recipe makes a juice for the tomatoes and it is so good I have known more than one person to drink it... If that tells you how good it is.  I know you will enjoy this!

Missy’s Marinated Tomatoes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Canola Oil
  • ¼ cups Balsamic Vinegar
  • 4 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 3 whole Green Onions, Sliced
  • ¼ cups Chopped Parsley
  • 18 whole Basil Leaves (chiffonade)
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Thyme
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced Finely
  • 2 pounds Tomatoes, Cut Into Quarters (if Big) Or Halves (if Small)
  • 1 whole Baguette, Sliced
  • 1 clove Garlic, Peeled

Preparation Instructions

Combine all ingredients except tomatoes in a large glass bowl. Whisk to combine, then add tomatoes. (You can up the quantity of tomatoes if need be.) Use regular red tomatoes, or a mixture of red, yellow, heirloom, etc. Use different sizes of tomatoes, too–pretty!
Allow to marinate for at least 3 to 4 hours, several hours if possible. Tomatoes will give off liquid as they marinate.
Use leftover tomatoes to make bruschetta: slice baguette and brush slices with olive oil. Grill on a skillet or grill pan until golden. Rub slices with garlic cloves. Top with tomatoes, allowing juice to drip on the bread.
