The marinated tomatoes recipe is a long-standing side dish that I plan to make every year, but I don’t always manage due to the fact that marination requires a few hours, but I recommend trying them at least once… they are too good!!!
As you can see from the photo, the tomatoes aren’t perfect, and before marinating, I had to remove some unattractive parts, but they are my homegrown tomatoes, and like all local products, they may not be beautiful, but they are top-notch in flavor!!!
A simple side dish with a truly unique taste that will win over everyone at the table.
The marination takes 4 hours, so you need to prepare them in advance to have them ready for lunch or dinner.
If you make any of my recipes, send me the photos, and I will publish them on my page with your name.
So let’s prepare this tomato side dish together, and bon appetit!!!

Preparation of Marinated Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes, dry them, cut off the end where the stem usually is, and any damaged or unattractive parts.
In a bowl, prepare the marinade with vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, a few peppercorns, a peeled and coarsely chopped onion, and finely chopped dry or fresh herbs.
Immerse the tomatoes in the marinade cut-side down and place them in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours.
Take a baking dish, slice the tomatoes, and place them in it. Use a spoon to scoop the herbs from the marinade and sprinkle them on the tomatoes. Adjust with salt and extra virgin olive oil, then make a second layer with herbs, salt, extra virgin olive oil, and basil leaves for garnish.
Place in the fridge and leave for at least another 10 minutes before serving.
