With our kitchen garden providing us a bounty of tomatoes, I have been looking for recipes using tomatoes and stumbled upon this recipe in a magazine (Mary Jane's Farm).
I could not use my outdoor grill (as the weather was not co-operating), and so decided to do it indoors. I used a flat griddle on my stove top, did everything just the same, and it worked just perfect.
Also, I did not have pine nuts in hand and so used sunflower seeds instead.
Difficulty level: Easy
Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time:10 min
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients:
Red onion:1
Grape tomatoes: 2 cups (1 dry pint)
Extra-virgin olive oil: 1/4 cup+ 2 tbsp
Red vine vinegar: 3 tbsp
Fresh basil: 2 tbsp, chopped
Crumbled goat cheese: 1/4 cup
Pine nuts: 1/4 cup
Salt, pepper to taste
Wooden skewers
Soak the skewers in water for 20-30 min. In the meantime, light the coals or preheat the grill to medium heat. Quarter the onion and separate into double-thick wedges. Thread onions onto separate skewers (all tomatoes and all onions) and brush with 2 tbsp olive oil. Place skewers on grill and turn several times, until tomatoes are hot and charred(they will 'pop' when done- about 5 min).
Remove tomatoes from grill and place cover on grill. Continue grilling the onions until tender- about another 5 min. Remove tomatoes and onions from skewers and toss with remaining olive oil, vinegar and basil in a large serving bowl.Top with goat cheese and pine nuts, add salt and pepper to taste.
