Grilled tomatoes with fried sage leaves make a flavorsome side dish for your barbecue or roast, or a zesty warm appetizer.
Ingredients
6 tomato (medium sized, cut in half)
6 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped, preferably flat leaf parsley)
4 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin olive oil)
3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
15 leaves sage (large, fresh sage leaves)
seasoning (salt and pepper to taste)
cooking oil (sunflower, or other vegetable oil for frying)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic and parsley and season.
Scoop out most of the seeds from the tomato halves. Fill the tomatoes with the garlic and parsley mixture. Drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil on top of the tomatoes.
Arrange the tomatoes in a shallow oiled dish and place under the grill for about 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a frying pan heat enough sunflower oil to cover the bottom by 1/2 inch.
Add the sage leaves and fry for 1/2 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
Place on top of the grilled tomatoes and serve immediately.
