Memorial Day Grilled Snack

It’s Memorial day baby and that means grilling. Here’s a super simple appetizer your friends are sure to enjoy. Summer is the time for fresh and delicious tomatoes so let’s eat some

• Go get a few fresh tomatoes.
• Slice them in half.
• Grate a bit of fresh pepper over the top.
• Get the grill going to medium heat and set the tomatoes on the grate until they look like the picture above…about 25 minutes.
• Finely chop some fresh basil and mix it with olive oil so that it is a paste consistency.
• Lightly toast pine nuts in a pan over medium heat for about five minutes until you can smell the nut flavor and they brown a bit.
• Freshly grate a cheese of your choice. I prefer Parmesan or Sarvecchio.
• Take the tomatoes off the grill, top with the basil and olive oil, sprinkle some pine nuts and cheese over the top…enjoy!
