What I present to you today is a stunning side dish: a delicious red and green tomato gratin. It is very easy to prepare and the result is truly extraordinary as well as original. The flavored breadcrumbs, the anchovies, capers, and oregano give this dish that extra touch that makes the difference. I love everything that is au gratin, don’t you? Of course, it is also possible to make this gratin using only red tomatoes, but the contrast of the two colors is definitely more beautiful. So get everything you need and try this recipe as soon as possible.

Ingredients for Red and Green Tomato Gratin

2 tomatoes (red)
2 tomatoes (green)
1 clove garlic
2.1 oz rustic bread (weighed without crust)
anchovy fillets in oil (about ten)
2 tbsp capers (pickled or salted)
oregano
extra virgin olive oil
salt
black pepper

Tools

Colander
1 Baking pan 13 x 10 inches
Food Processor
1 Frying pan small

Preparation of Red and Green Tomato Gratin

Wash the tomatoes, dry them with kitchen paper, and cut them into slices about ¼ inch thick.
Put them in a colander, lightly salt them (with fine salt), and let them rest for about fifteen minutes.
Then pat them dry with kitchen paper (do not rinse them).
Line a baking pan with parchment paper (mine measures 13 x 10 inches) and arrange the tomato slices, alternating the two colors. Salt and pepper to taste.
Put the bread (without crust) in a food processor along with the peeled garlic clove and chop.
In a small frying pan, heat a drizzle of oil and toast this mixture until golden and crispy.
Sprinkle this mixture over the tomatoes and drizzle with a little oil.
Bake in the oven at 430°F for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and distribute the broken anchovies, capers, and plenty of oregano over the tomatoes.
Return the red and green tomato gratin to the oven for another 10 minutes at the same temperature.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! Paola
